Kim Tok Hun, a top official in the DPRK\u2019s leadership and Premier of the Cabinet, conducted an inspection of the agricultural sector and rehabilitation projects in North Phyongan Province following the devastating floods that struck the region in mid-August, affecting hundreds of households and caused widespread damage to infrastructure and farmlands.<\/p>\n
During his visit to Pakchon and Kwaksan counties, Premier Kim emphasized the crucial role agricultural officials play in achieving the grain production targets set by the Workers\u2019 Party of Korea. He urged these officials to provide practical guidance to ensure a successful conclusion to this year\u2019s farming season. Stressing the importance of maximizing per-hectare yields, Kim called for precise monitoring of the ripening rate of rice across different fields and urged farmers to focus their efforts on completing the rice harvest in a timely and qualitative manner.<\/p>\n
Premier Kim further highlighted the need to adopt scientific farming techniques, advocating for early crop cultivation methods based on the lessons learned from this year\u2019s efforts. He outlined the necessity of executing next year\u2019s plans, such as winter wheat and barley sowing, with meticulous preparation and adherence to proven strategies.<\/p>\n
In Sinuiju City and Uiju County, which were severely impacted by the floods, Premier Kim inspected ongoing rehabilitation projects and encouraged builders to work tirelessly to restore the region. Recognizing the urgency of ensuring stable living conditions for affected residents, he assessed the progress made in constructing new housing and infrastructure, calling for a detailed plan to maintain the construction timeline and ensure high-quality standards across all projects.<\/p>\n
Field consultative meetings were held to address key issues, such as developing farming techniques suited to changing weather patterns, managing harvested grains effectively, preparing for next year\u2019s agricultural activities, increasing mechanization in construction, and providing timely support for skilled workers, materials, and equipment. These initiatives are aimed at accelerating recovery and securing a better future for the flood-impacted communities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
