The National Assembly of the Czechoslovak Republic decided on the following Act:

2. to the single agricultural cooperatives and their members,
3. Individual farmers,
4. Other persons holding agricultural land or keeping livestock.
(1) The purchase of agricultural products is planned, organised, managed and controlled by the Ministry of Purchase in order to ensure the delivery of all agricultural products in the amount provided for by the national development plan for the national economy.
(2) Agricultural products are purchased by national undertakings and cooperatives designated by the Ministry of Buying.
(1) In their respective districts, officials of the Ministry of Purchase and National Committees are responsible for the timely implementation of the plan for the purchase of agricultural products.
(2) The district managers of the Ministry of Buying are responsible to the regional attendants of the Ministry of Buying and together with them to the Ministry of Buying; in Slovakia, district and county officers of the Ministry of Buying are also responsible to the Minister of Buying for Slovakia.
(3) The Chairman of the National Committee shall be responsible for carrying out the tasks of the National Committees in the purchase of agricultural products to the Chairman of the Senior National Committee and the Chairman of the Regional National Committee to the Prime Minister.
The sources of the purchase of agricultural products are:

2. compulsory supplies of single agricultural cooperatives, their members, individual farmers and other persons subject to supply obligations,
3. in kind remuneration for work carried out by machinery and tractor stations;
4. in kind the remuneration for the processing of grains (measuring) and the transport of agricultural products by national undertakings from the agricultural plant to the place of purchase;
5th State purchase.
State-owned property and other agricultural plants of the State Socialist sector are obliged to supply the State with all agricultural products in the amount set out in the national economic development plan, as well as all agricultural products produced in excess of the quantity so determined which they do not need for the purposes of their economy or in kind for their employees. The Ministry of Buying may, where justified, authorise a derogation from the use of agricultural products produced in excess of the quantity laid down in the State plan.
(1) Unified agricultural cooperatives, their members, individual farmers and other persons subject to supply obligations, fulfil their obligations towards the State by delivery obligations or by delivery contracts. The supply standards shall be established by the Government or by the Ministry of Buying.
(2) The amount of the delivery obligations is determined by the district supervisor of the Ministry of Purchase. In the event of non-compliance with the delivery obligation within the prescribed time limit, the district supervisor shall invite the debtor in writing to complete immediately the quantity of agricultural products not delivered within the additional time limit set.
The remuneration for the work carried out by the machinery and tractor stations, the remuneration for the processing of grains (measuring) and the remuneration for the removal of agricultural products delivered from the farm to the point of purchase by the national undertakings shall be paid in kind to the extent determined by the Government. The government shall also determine the amount of remuneration in kind.
(1) If required by national food and raw materials management needs, State purchases will provide surplus agricultural products or agricultural products which are not subject to delivery obligations.
(2) The Government may provide for an obligation to sell surpluses of certain agricultural products to the State.
Following the fulfilment of the delivery obligations, single agricultural cooperatives, their members, individual farmers and other persons subject to the supply obligation may freely sell surpluses of their agricultural products to consumers or undertakings authorised to purchase agricultural products or to other undertakings authorised to buy surpluses and free agricultural products.
The heads of the economy of state goods and other agricultural plants of the State Socialist sector, the chairmen and members of the single agricultural cooperatives, as well as the individual farmers and other persons subject to delivery obligations, shall be responsible for the proper and timely supply of agricultural products to the State within the specified time limits. If they do not fulfil this obligation, they will be brought to legal responsibility.
If there is a risk that agricultural products will be withdrawn from the public supply or that delivery obligations have not been met in time, the Ministry of Purchase shall be entitled to carry out controls on the farm and on other persons subject to the supply obligation; for the cooperation of a member of the Board of the Local National Committee, may carry out provisional security of the stocks of agricultural products to the extent necessary to fulfil the delivery obligation.
(1) Compulsory deliveries not carried out in time will also be enforced by forced withdrawal of agricultural products.
(2) The Government shall provide for a regulation in which the enforcement of the compulsory delivery of a previous court decision is required. In such cases, the court shall either confirm that the delivery has been made in accordance with the delivery obligations or reject the action.
