Maritza · Answer 2

Farms were collectively owned by families and controlled by the government. The first Five-Year plan ran from 1953 to 1957 set economic goals for the next five-years. It strived for high economic growth and development of industry i. e., mining, steel and iron manufacturing. The five-year plan featured the Soviet Union economic model characterized by, state ownership, centralized economic planning and farming collectives.

The Chinese government tried to modernize farming by encouraging farmers to collectivize their farms which gave the government the ability to control the prices and distribution of agricultural products, lower prices for urban workers. By 1957 over 93%of farmers had joined cooperatives.
