Fisheries production cooperative for sea and coastal fishermen
A fishery production cooperative of sea and coastal fishermen (abbreviated FPG ) was the partly forced merger of sea and coastal fishermen in the GDR to form a socialist cooperative .
Foundation of the FPG
The SED decided on the 2nd Party Conference of the SED in East Berlin (July 9 to 12 1952) that measures the formation of cooperatives. In accordance with the collectivization and industrialization of agriculture, which represented one of the basic ideas of socialism , the fishermen on the Baltic Sea coast of the GDR should also participate in the planned social development towards socialism through cooperative ownership of the means of production and cooperative work.
Economic aspect
The cooperative work led to rationalization and increased effectiveness compared to individual production through the merger of the fishermen to form an FPG.
