The Stimulating Function of Purchase Prices
In the agrarian policy formulated by the March (1965) Plenum of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and developed in the decisions of the Twenty-fifth Party Congress and the July (1978) Plenum of the Central Committee of the CPSU, special attention is devoted to the improvement of the economic mechanism and especially to planning, pricing, and the strenghtening of cost accounting and economic stimulation. The new system of planning of the production and procurement of agricultural products has become an important feature of this policy. It is based on the establishment of firm purchase plans, the closer proximity of purchase prices to socially necessary expenditures, and price markups for selling products to the state in excess of the plan. The implementation of this policy required a certain redistribution of national income in favor of agriculture. Major measures were enacted to improve the credit and finance mechanism, increase the remuneration of the agricultural work force, and increase deliveries of machinery and mineral fertilizers.
