A decrease in production and an increase in purchasing – this made grain the topic on almost everyone's lips in many places last spring and nearly every household talked about the state monopoly for marketing grain.
To make up their deficit they cultivate side crops, catch fish or shrimps, raise poultry or pigs, or sell part of their labour power, and thus eke out a living, hoping in the midst of hardship and destitution to tide over the year.
The peasants are working with a will, and last year there was an increase in the country's grain output despite the worst floods, droughts and gales in years.
