The slightly lighter color shade indicates plan completion between 20 - 28 percent. The lightest shade indicates plan completion between 13 - 17 percent.

Simple hatches and a crosshatch patterning represent data on fulfillment of the plan for grain procurement in the collective farm sector, as of January 1, 1933. Simple hatching indicates plan fulfillment between 70 - 76 percent and 85 - 92 percent. Crosshatch indicates plan fulfillment of 100 percent.

The largest circles, marking Dnipropetrovsk and Odesa oblasts, indicate loans of 300 thousand poods each. The medium size circles, marking Vinnytsia, Kyiv, and Kharkiv oblasts, indicate loans of 135, 200 and 200 thousand poods respectively.
