Politics 2024.1.8.



Premier Kim Tok Hun, member of the Presidium of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea (WPK) and vice-president of the State Affairs Commission of the DPRK, made a field survey of the agricultural sector in South Hwanghae Province.

Going round Samjigang and Chongchon farms in Jaeryong County, Muhak and Komchon farms in Sinwon County and other farms, he encouraged the agricultural workers out in the new year’s advance true to the resolutions of the 9th Plenary Meeting of the 8th WPK Central Committee.

South Hwanghae Province, the biggest agricultural province and the main granary of the country, should take the lead in attaining the grain production goal for 2024 set by the Party, he said, urging the agricultural officials and workers in the province to make substantial preparations for farming on the basis of the successes and experience of last year.

He stressed that the agricultural guidance organs at all levels should regard the scientific farming as their lifeline and provide a sure guarantee for increasing the grain production and continue to encourage the agricultural workers to actively tap and mobilize organic fertilizer sources and increase the manure production.

He learned in detail about the growth of winter wheat and barley and underlined the importance to bring about substantial successes in the earlier crop farming by manuring and cultivating them in a scientific and technological way in conformity with the climatic conditions.

The premier said that the machine-building units across the country should produce more high-performance farm machines and send them to the countryside and the farms should properly overhaul farming equipment and decisively raise the proportion of mechanization in farming.

A field consultative meeting discussed the issues arising in raising good crops this year, including the issue of consistently pushing ahead with the work for perfecting the irrigation system and the issue of fully securing various farming materials.
