In the early days of the founding of New China, there was an extreme shortage of materials, so the food supply could not be opened naturally. The central government began to brew a planned food supply to meet the country's food and clothing. 1953, the central government decided to implement the policy of unified grain purchase and marketing, including the planned grain purchase policy and the planned grain supply policy. 1955 On August 25th, the17th plenary meeting in the State Council adopted the Interim Measures for the Printing of Municipal Grain Rationing Vouchers, and subsequently, the State Ministry of Grain issued the Interim Measures to the whole country. Soon, all kinds of food stamps were distributed.

Basic introduction:

From 1950s to 1980s, China issued grain purchase vouchers in a specific economic period. At that time, food stamps were needed to buy food. The earliest types of tickets implemented in China are food stamps, edible oil stamps and cloth tickets. As a matter of fact, supply by ticket was not initiated by China. After the October Revolution, the country was unstable, civil wars continued, and commodities were scarce. The Soviet Union adopted a plan to distribute commodities and issue various commodity tickets. The earliest ticket in the Soviet Union was a shoe ticket for 19 16. During World War II, when there was a shortage of commodities, the United States issued various commodity vouchers, including food vouchers. At present, there are still some countries that still use the ticket supply method, such as North Korea, Vietnam and other countries.
