 The authorities wrongly expected that production would increase as a result of agricultural collectivization, because of plans for exporting agricultural products based on attempts to industrialize.

The government's forced collectivization of agriculture, a part of the Soviet Union's first five-year plan is considered by some a main reason for the famine
