Description
Corporatism and Agricultural Reform in China Reforming the agricultural sector began immediately after Deng Xiaoping assumed leadership of China in 1979. A massive de-collectivization programme in the early 1980s freed peasants to engage in independent household farming through the so-called "family joint-working contracting system" (jiating lianchan chengbaozhi). Under this system, arable land owned by the state was distributed or contracted out to every peasant household which could support itself and earn extra income from farming. This system worked well in the beginning. Agricultural production increased drastically in comparison with the collectivization period from 1949. By 1990, China had changed from a food-deficient country to a food-surplus one.
