9 Data for total fruit procurements and for procurements of grapes
and other fruits are reported in Narkhoz I 97 2, p. 299. 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 1970 price is
from Vop ek, no. 1, 1973, p. 57.

b State farm procurement prices are derived from an index for 1970
of fruit procurement prices (1966-100), Ek selkhoz, no. 7, 1972, p 33.
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. Frayer, E konomika sotsialisticheskogo
sellvkogo khozyaystva, Moscow, 1973, p. 413. Collective farm
procurement prices are assumed to be applicable to private
producers.

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. Pankova et al., Ek0n0mik0-statistiches-
koye izucheniye sovkhozov, Moscow, 1969, p. 134.
