In 1991, when the five Central Asian countries became independent, most of
their population was rural and about a third of the workforce was in agriculture.
Collective farming was predominant, and land reform was an important component in the transition to a market-based economy. The Soviet rural economy was also characterized by small household plots of under 0.2 hectares that accounted for a large share of output of many farm products, including milk, meat, potatoes, eggs, and vegetables for home or local consumption.
