ABSTRACT

Agriculture and light and heavy industry are the three major material production sectors in the socialist national economy. To understand correctly the importance and role of these sectors in the national economy and to handle correctly their relations are instrumental in consolidating and developing the worker-peasant alliance and promoting rapid and planned development of the socialist national economy. Since agriculture is the foundation of the national economy, it is necessary to treat the development of agriculture as a priority in developing the national economy. The development of socialist agriculture must primarily rely on the efforts of the cadres and the poor and lower-middle peasants, the staff and workers of the state farms, and other laboring peasants who fight on the agricultural point. Industry is the leading factor of the national economy. Light industry is a necessary complement to agriculture. Light industry provides capital accumulation for the state and is an important source of capital funds for building heavy industry.
