Powdered glauberite by natural quick weathering method serves as ideal land improvement agent, fertilizer and fodder addictives.

Its effectiveness has been confirmed through application in agriculture, stockbreeding and forestry in recent years.

Several co-op farms in Pyongyang and Nampho cities and North Phyongan Province introduced it into agricultural production, raising the per-hectare yield of grain and vegetables 130 percent more than before.

And when powdered glauberite was added to feed, the rate of pig's weight increment went up 10-15 more percent in 100 days.

The Central Tree Nursery under the Ministry of Land and Environment Protection and other nurseries increased the sapling production at over 150 percent by using it as fertilizer.

The State has pushed ahead with the work to develop the glauberite industry.
