They did the same thing in Ethiopia, actually they (the commies) would forbid stockpiling so when one year was bad the first thing to go was the seed for next years crops (mmm tasty). We got little starving children covered in flies blasted on our TV's for years but were never informed that what happened was avoidable and some suggest, deliberate.
