Answer:
✓Acute shortages of grain supplies and outdated mode of production on small land holdings led Stalin to introduce the system of collectivisation.
✓Under collectivisation, land was taken away from peasants, Kulaks eliminated and large state controlled farms established.
✓ Peasants were forced to cultivate on these collective farms (Kolkboz).
✓Large size of farms enabled introduction of modern techniques and machinery.
✓Land and implements were transferred to the ownership of the collective farms.
✓A profit of the farms was to be shared among the peasants.
