The movement, aimed at producing consumer goods with by-products, mainly involves light industrial factories and housewives' work-teams across the country.

In this regard, KCNA met Kim Hui Jo, a department director of the Ministry of Food and Consumer Goods Industries.

Kim said:

Rounds of commodity shows, held this year, promoted the August 3 Consumer Goods Production Movement.

North Phyongan Province has paid deep attention to developing new products and improving the quality of consumer goods.

Goods made by housewives' work-teams in Pyongyang and Phyongsong City, South Phyongan Province are enjoying popularity among consumers.

Direct sale stores in Kaechon City, South Phyongan Province and Sariwon City, North Hwanghae Province are always bustled with customers as they have quality goods on sale.

The dear respected Kim Jong Un underscored the need to turn out varieties of quality consumer goods by intensifying the August 3 Consumer Goods Production Movement as in the 1980s.

A national exhibition of August 3 consumer goods will be held from August 10 this year.
