State Agricultural Farm

A State Agricultural Farm (Polish: Państwowe Gospodarstwo Rolne [paj̃ˈstfɔvɛ gɔspɔˈdarstfɔ ˈrɔlnɛ];, PGR) was a form of collective farming in the Polish People's Republic, similar to Soviet sovkhoz and to the East German Volkseigenes Gut.

Relatively inefficient and subsidized by the government, most PGRs went bankrupt quickly after the fall of communism and adoption of a market economy by Poland.

The process of selling and leasing land societies and social services continues.

State-owned farms were very often the organizers of social life, and theoretically adequately met all the needs of workers.

Their downfall has often caused damage to the structure of the local communities, which were not adapted to the new situation of economic activity.
