A survey of Czechoslovak agriculture / - Washington, D.C. : Department of Agriculture. Economic Research Service, 1982. - 49 pages ;

Czechoslovakia is one of the most industrialized countries in Eastern Europe, and agriculture plays a minor role in the economy, contributing only 10.5 percent of national income in 1980. Of the arable land, 94 percent is held in socialized ownership, but private production supplies a large share of meat, livestock products, fruits, and vegetables. Czechoslovakia is a net agricultural importer and the emphasis of current agricultural policy is on attaining self-sufficiency in grain production to reduce costly imports. Furthermore, under the seventh Five Year Plan (1981-85), crop production will grow faster than livestock production and cattle and sheep raising will be stressed rather than pig and poultry raising
