Our class visited a collective farm not far from Havana. This collective was formed when over sixty private farmers pooled their land. Decisions are made democratically. New members can be admitted and add their land to the collective. Even landless persons can be admitted as full members.
Children can choose to become members when they grow up, or they can choose to leave.
Among collectives, there are several variants. The agricultural sector is byzantine and, unfortunately for Cuba, not very productive. Farmhouse next to a newly planted sugar cane field. Sugar is Cuba's main crop and a major source of hard currency. Houses at the collective farm.
