This fact, whose importance I shall discuss later, shows how misleading it would be to see the development of Kurdish society in Iran on its own, rather than as a part of a larger Iranian economy. A key aspect of Iranian Kurdistan’s political transformation was its economic and social transformation. A key characteristic of its economic transformation was the development of a market economy in Kurdistan. Many scholars have examined the development of a market economy and the relationship between market and society.
The 1972 publication of the Statistics Center of Iran on the landless peasants of Kurdistan quoted a total of 1,226,000 hectares of agricultural land in the province, out of which 1,080,000 hectares were for dry farming and 146,000 hectares were irrigated land. Of the total land area in the province itself, 49 percent was agricultural land. Of the agricultural land, an average of 52 percent was cultivated and the rest, 48 percent, was left fallow. 28 The main agricultural products were wheat, fodder production, and barley.
