Collectivization in Yugoslavia
The People's Federal Republic of Yugoslavia enforced the collectivization (Serbo-Croatian: колективизација / kolektivizacija) of its agricultural sector between 1946 and 1952.[1] The policy, as per directions issued in February 1946, aimed to consolidate individual landholdings and labour into collective farms (Peasants' Work Cooperatives).[2] The Yugoslav government followed the pattern of the Soviet Union, with two types of farms, the state farms and collective farms.[1] The peasants' holdings were operated under government supervision, the state farms owned by the governments were operated by hired labour.[2] Of the European communist states, Yugoslavia ranked second, behind Bulgaria, in proportion of peasant households in collectives.[2] In 1950, 21.9% of arable land and 18.1% of households were under collectivization.[2] The Cazin rebellion of May 1950 was a peasant revolt against the state's collectivization efforts and was a factor in the abandonment of collectivization that occurred throughout the 1950s in Yugoslavia.
