The superpower, the Soviet Union, is fertile for thousands of miles, why is there often not enough f

We all know that the land area of the Soviet Union is very large, the union of the Soviet Union is also very large, and the population is not a minority. Because the Soviet Union developed at a very fast pace and at a very large pace, and the impact of this development on the United States was very great, the United States also made a lot of efforts to deal with the Soviet Union during the period of the US-Soviet struggle for hegemony and proposed many sanctions.

Although the Soviet Union has a large land and a large population, many Soviet people are often hungry. The people of the country are not well fed, and the country must be unmotivated and listless to function. This problem was very common in all the countries of the Soviet Union, but it was not very well solved.

We all know that the largest country in the Soviet Union is Russia, and Russia has the largest land in the world, but you must know that Russia is located in the north, and it is very cold for most of the year, which can be said to be an extremely cold place, and such land is suitable for growing corn, potatoes and other relatively cold-resistant crops. Due to the fact that the cold yield is not high, unlike in India, which can be harvested three times a year, and the sunlight exposure is not as strong as in the southern countries, the grain production is not ideal.

Many people say that most of the land in the USSR was flat and fertile, and it is well known that the level of mechanization in the USSR was so high that growing food was a breeze. But in fact, some other countries of the Soviet Union have large deserts, which are not suitable for growing grain, and most of the countries of the Soviet Union are located in a similar place to Russia, they are relatively northern, and there is not much food.

The most important reason for the low grain production in the Soviet Union is that many people in the Soviet Union will be lazy and do not work due to the state system, which is an important reason for the low level of labor and low grain production.

Because the climate of the Soviet Union was relatively cold and not suitable for farming, the grain production was not sufficient, and it was difficult to supply it to all the Soviet people, and sometimes it was necessary to import it to meet the needs of life.

Yields have not been as expected. There were very few Soviet people engaged in agricultural production. As a result, there is often not enough food to eat.

Although the Soviet Union is a very large country, its population is also very large, and some places in the Soviet Union cannot grow grain, and most of them rely on imported grain, so there will be a situation of not enough to eat.

It has to do with the system of the Soviet Union, which is a heavy industrial country, and they invest most of their manpower and material resources in factories, rarely develop light industry, and only a small number of people grow food.

Because the local weather is very cold, it is difficult for crops to survive in such a cold environment, which will definitely affect the grain production.

In order to have a high grain yield, there are many conditions to have, such as temperature, humidity, climate change, etc., although the Soviet Union is vast and sparsely populated, but the climate is too cold, and the temperature and sunlight exposure time is also very short, so the grain production is very low.

Because the local climate is very cold, the temperature is very low for most of the year, which is not suitable for the growth of grain at all.

Because most of the land in the Soviet Union was in relatively cold places, there was no way to grow plants in these places, and the Soviets had a special love for corn, whether the land was suitable for planting or not, they needed to grow corn.

Because they don't know the planting method, their planting technology is not very good, so the yield of grain is not very high.

This is inextricably linked to Gorbachev's perestroika at that time. The Soviet Union had a vast territory and an absolute advantage in the region, so it was basically self-sufficient, and it also imported a lot of grain from abroad, so it stands to reason that there should be a lot of surplus food, and the people's lives were happy, but in fact it was the opposite, or even worse. At that time, it was only Gorbachev who could bear the blame.

1. Gorbachev's economic reforms led to the creation of a "black market".

At that time, Gorbachev carried out "drastic" reforms in the Soviet Union and vigorously implemented the New Economic Policy, but even so, the immaturity of the market and the arbitrary intervention of the first country led to Gorbachev's reforms not getting positive results. Instead, it has given birth to a vicious economy - the "black market". The emergence of the black market is a full manifestation of the shortcomings under the reform system.

Moreover, it has squeezed the interests of ordinary people out of what is left.

2. On the commodity chain, the rapid growth and accumulation of capital has led to the poverty of most people.

Many people took advantage of the "loopholes" of the Soviet Union's reform to create barriers to economic transactions at home, resulting in the concentration of capital on a small number of people, while the vast number of Soviet people could not buy food. Why is that? Where did all that food go?

This is the role of the black market, using a very small number of people to accumulate capital, resulting in food in the hands of these people, asking for high prices, and for most people, either taking money to buy their expensive "food" or choosing to starve.

3. Some people make profits, and quickly transfer the unsalable grain in the market to foreign countries.

Since the reform of the new economy failed, the interests were only in the hands of one party, and the Soviet people were squeezed. There is not much "oil and water" in the domestic market, and these people are worried that they will be smashed into their hands, so they will transfer the grain imported by the Soviet Union to overseas and make a lot of money. Even so, the Soviet Union could only "reap the consequences of its own destruction", and the failure of perestroika was bound to endure.

The problem of food shortages among the masses in the Soviet Union was at the end of the Soviet Union, when the political and economic reforms of the Soviet Union undermined the Soviet production and circulation system, and the prices of food and commodities in the Soviet Union were not straightened out at that time, resulting in a shortage of goods. This is very normal, under the planned system, food and basic consumer goods are sold at half or one-third of the cost price, relying on subsidies and compulsory planned economy can be played. But when the planning system was destroyed.

Do you think private shops would still be willing to sell like this? Coupled with the destruction of the production and distribution system, it naturally falls into a vicious circle, and the shelves are empty.

The past year marked the twelfth consecutive year of growth in grain production. However, until the population peaks, China's "demand for food remains on a rigid growth trend" in the medium and long term, according to the seniors.

Although the Soviet Union imports grain every year, people also export grain! That's right, the USSR exported grain every year. There are many reasons for this, such as aid, the inability to sell some surplus grain varieties, diplomatic needs, and so on; in view of the vast territory, it is better to sell the grain directly nearby and then use foreign exchange to buy cheaper grain from the surrounding or overseas to import, rather than spending great efforts to transport grain from the grain-producing areas to the domestic market.

This is the same as the principle that China imports Middle Eastern oil while directly exporting oil drilled from West Africa to Western Europe.

The Soviet Union, a country located in the northern part of Eurasia, was the largest country in the world after World War II. As the only country that could compete with the United States during the Cold War, the Soviet Union was very powerful and powerful, and in its heyday, the Soviet Union once overwhelmed the United States in its strategic posture, so that the United States had to adopt a defensive posture.

However, the Soviet Union was so powerful, but it had long faced a serious problem, that is, there was not enough food to eat. As we all know, the Soviet Union is the largest country in the world, there are many domestic plains, and the level of mechanization in the Soviet Union is very high, so it is not like there is not enough food to eat.

First of all, the problem of food shortage in the Soviet Union has a lot to do with the natural environment of the Soviet Union, although the area of the Soviet Union is very vast, there are many plains, and the land is also very fertile, but its latitude is high, the climate is very cold, most of the areas are not suitable for planting at all, and the Eastern European Plain, which is suitable for planting, due to the lack of light and heat, most of the agricultural areas are harvested once a year. The crops grown are also some hardy crops such as corn, potatoes, wheat, etc.

Therefore, don't look at the Russian plains, the land is quite fertile, but the grain production is not very high, and the abundant arable land resources do not match, in fact, the Soviet Union is like India three crops a year, ** the whole of Europe is no problem. But even so, the Soviet Union was affected by natural conditions, the yield was relatively low, it had a lot of land resources, and a high level of mechanization. It is the world's third-largest food producer after China and the United States.

Because the Soviet model of farm development was collectivized, this limited the enthusiasm of the peasants to cultivate the land, which led to low grain production.

Although the Soviet Union was fertile for thousands of miles, its high latitude and relative coldness led to the fact that most of the agricultural areas were harvested once a year.

Because of the Soviet model of development of collectivized farms. This model proved in practice to be unfavorable to the motivation of the peasants and led to a series of problems, but it was retained for a long time in the Soviet Union, so that the industrial development of the USSR was carried out at the expense of agriculture, and this model was the root cause of the lack of agricultural development.

This is due to the problems of the natural environment, because the Soviet Union has a higher latitude and a colder climate, and most of the area is not suitable for cultivation at all.

The main thing is that the weather in the USSR was cold, the variety of crops that could be grown was not much, the harvest was not good, and the enthusiasm of the peasants was not high due to policy reasons.

Because of the rapid population growth and rapid urbanization of the Soviet Union, the pressure on agriculture was increasing. Population pressure is the curse of Soviet agriculture, in fact, Soviet agriculture has always been in a state of development, but the growth rate of population far exceeds the growth rate of grain production, so the expansion of population will completely consume the increase in grain production in the Soviet Union.

According to the information, it can be learned that it was because of the climate of the Soviet Union, and then the local grain production was not high, so there was not enough to eat.

In fact, there was enough food in the Soviet Union, but with the upgrading of consumption and life, there was a certain shortage of food.

First, although the land is vast, most of the land is not suitable for cultivation, and there is not much arable land.

Second, the policy is wrong, the peasants do not have the enthusiasm to grow grain, or the policy interferes with grain production, resulting in a serious shortage of grain.

Third, the population of the Soviet Union increased rapidly, and grain production could not keep up with the rate of population growth.

The problem of food shortages in the USSR had a lot to do with the natural environment of the USSR. Although the Soviet Union was vast, widespread, plain, and fertile, its wide latitudes and cold climate made most of the region unsuitable for cultivation at all. Even in the Quezhou Plain of Eastern Europe, where it was suitable for cultivation, most of the Soviet agricultural regions were cropped once a year due to lack of light and heat, and the crops were hardy crops such as corn, potatoes, and wheat.

So don't look at the Russian plains, there are a lot of plains, and the land is fertile, but the grain production is not high, at least it does not match its rich arable land resources. In fact, if the USSR had three crops a year, as in India, there would have been no problem with grain ** the whole of Europe.
