Chiang & Halliday: peasants experienced hardship as a result of collectivisation
during 1st 5YP (1953-7) agriculture increased only by 3.8% and in the last year only increased by 1%
grain requisitioning led to food riots in 1954
many peasants got hardly any food as Mao said: they ‘only need 140g of grain and some only need 110’ and that ‘educate peasants to eat less, and have more thin gruel’
The government introduced a policy of ‘primitive accumulation’ which forced peasants to sell a quarter of their total grain production to the state at very low prices. So, peasants were living at subsistence levels.
