Berry procurements are derived as a residual by subtracting procurements of grapes and other fruit from total fruit procurements. l’ G. M. Bogush et al., in Sel 'skoye khozyaystvo SSSR, Moscow, 1972, p. 95, show percentage shares of total fruit procurements (6,180 thousand tons) that were obtained from private producers (14.1 percent). G. G. Badiryan, in Ekonomika sotsialisticheskogo rel Zrkokhozyayslva, Moscow, 1971, p. 377, presents data on procure- ments of berries from the private sector (40 percent) and for other fruits procured from the private sector (20 percent). Grape procure- ments from the private sector are derived as a residual by subtracting private procurements of berries and other fruit from total fruit procurements from the private sector. C Total procurements of grapes from the socialized sector are allocated to state and collective farms according to their respective shares of fruit production. (Badiryan, op. c|'t., p. 402). *1 Includes berries and other fruits. Derived by subtracting procure- ments of grapes from total procurements of fruit from these producers. Fruit _ This category includes berries, grapes, other fruit, and nuts. The weighted average price (282 rubles per ton), however, is based on prices for berries, grapes and other fruit (table B-4). Average procurement prices are used because not enough data are available on fruit prices in collective farm markets, commission trade, and decentralized procurements to calculate average realized prices. The average procurement price is derived by weighting prices paid to collective farms, state farms, and private producers by the quantities obtained from each. Table B-'3 shows quan- tities of fruit procured in 1970. Table B-4 shows the ' valuation of procurements and the derivation of the average procurement price. 1 Sugarbeets Sugarbeets, are priced at the 1970 price paid to collective farms for beets sold to state procurement organizations (26 rubles per ton).

The 1966 prices for fruits, and berries are calculated from Badiryan, op. cit, p. 379, 389. For grapes, the 1965 price was used (Vop ek, no. 1 1, 1966, p.38). Because prices received by all farms per unit of delivered product were relatively unchanged from 1965 to I970 (Narkh0z I979, pp. 230, 260) little error is introduced. C O. F. Lopatina and S.V.

Procurement prices of state farms in 1970 (517 rubles per ton) and of collective farms (566 rubles per ton) are weighted with quantities sold-to procurement organizations to obtain an average price of 555 rubles per ton. The collective farm procurement price is from Vop ek, no. 1, 1973, p. 57. The state farm price is calculated from data in Ek selkhoz, no. 7, 1972, p. 33, and in K.I.
