The present study reports on the implementation of the land reform and restructuring process at the farm level and examines its implications for the performance of the agricultural sector. It is based on a survey conducted by the Agrarian Institute of the Russian Agricultural Academy of Sciences in five provinces during November-December, 1992. Three groups of economically active agents were surveyed: managers of collective farm enterprises (260 interviews), heads of households among employees of collective enterprises (1,487), and private farmers (984). In total, 2,731 interviews were conducted. The information from the surveys was supplemented by information from land committees, statistical organs, and district and village councils.
