What is a rural collective economic organization

Rural collective economic organizations refer to economic organizations with land ownership.

The agricultural cooperative movement originated in the early 1950s. It is an agricultural socialist economic organization. In this organization, in order to carry out the transformation of socialist public ownership, farmers voluntarily unite to collectively own all their means of production (land, large farm tools and livestock), collectively organize agricultural production and management, and collectively work for farmers, according to their ability and distribution according to work.

Extended data:

Rural collective economic organizations were originally formed by the cooperative movement after liberation. Farmers handed over their own means of production (land, large farm tools and farm animals) to form a collective, thus forming a collective economic organization with production teams as the unit. A deep understanding of the legal and practical status quo of rural collective economic organizations is based on a clear understanding of the historical changes of rural collective economic organizations in China.

In the people's communes, production brigades and production teams that collectively engage in agricultural economic activities, the production teams are the foundation and possess most of the main means of production, including land, livestock and farm tools. The rural collective economic organization is the only organization that owns land except the state, so the rural collective economic organization in the general sense refers to the production team (that is, equivalent to the current villagers' group level).
