Agricultural Workers Encouraged by New Year Address in DPRK
Pyongyang, January 6 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Un, supreme leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, in his New Year address set agriculture as a major thrust of the country's effort in the struggle for economic construction and improvement of the people's standard of living.

He underscored the need for the agricultural sector to proactively introduce scientific farming methods and do farm work in a responsible manner so as to hit without fail the target of agricultural production set by the Workers' Party of Korea.

The agricultural workers across the country are fully determined to increase the agricultural production this year in hearty response to the address.

Last year, they made a boost in agricultural production despite of difficulties and undesirable weather conditions.

South Hamgyong, Hwanghae and other provincial rural economy committees made big efforts to further display the advantages of sub-workteam management system, thus encouraging farmers to strive for increased yield.

Last year witnessed an increase of the area for cultivation of high-yielding crops throughout the country.

The introduction of advanced farming methods and techniques has put the farming on a more scientific and intensive basis.

After setting the agricultural field as the major thrust in economic construction, Kim Jong Un has energetically led the work to direct all efforts to farming.

The agricultural workers are deeply convinced through the experience they gained last year that they can hit without fail the target of agricultural production set by the WPK this year as they are led by Kim Jong Un.
