Narkomprod or the People's Commissariat for Food Supplies, (translit. Narodny Commissariat Prodovolstviya, Russian: Наркомпрод, Народный комиссариат продовольствия) was the Commissariat of the Russian SFSR (Narkomprod of the RSFSR [ru]) and later of the Soviet Union (Narkomprod of the USSR [ru]) in charge of food supplies and consumer industrial goods.^[1]

The Narkomprod was responsible in June 1918 for the attempted organisation of 'committees of the poor' in provincial villages. This was an attempt to encourage a 'class war' in the countryside but it did not materialise, mainly because the peasants were not resentful of 'kulaks' (rich peasants) as there was a tendency for all peasants to have the same interests (for example, their own land ownership).
