Rodong Sinmun Calls for Attaining Grain Production Goal without Fail
Pyongyang, January 27 (KCNA) -- To decisively increase the agricultural production at the present time is a prerequisite for maintaining the self-respect and self-support of the state and accelerating the speed of the advance of revolution, says Rodong Sinmun in an editorial on Monday.

The editorial continues:

It is high time that the agricultural front went all out for making the people burn with enthusiasm for the revolution, struggle and patriotic work and making them advance under the unfurled banner of achieving prosperity by self-reliance.

All the officials and working people in the agricultural field should thoroughly carry out the idea, put forward by the Party, of the five requisites for the agricultural development, so as to attain this year's goal of grain production without fail, bearing in mind that the increase of the agricultural production serves as a step forward towards the development of the country's economy and the improvement of the people's living standards and as a decisive guarantee for the dynamic advance of the revolution.

"Let Us Defend Our Revolution with Rice!" and "Let Us Defend Socialism with Rice!" are the slogans of patriotism and faith the agricultural workers should hold higher today.

The Party set a high target for increased production, trusting the diligent and sincere agricultural workers, although everything is in short supply in the country and it encounters many difficulties.

The target is high and there are not a few difficulties, but we are confident of victory as we are under the wise leadership of the Party, there is a clear way of increasing grain production, found in the arduous practice, and reliable patriotic farmers firmly defend their own posts.

The editorial calls for going all out for reaping a rich harvest on every field of the socialist country in hearty response to the call of the Party for launching an offensive for a head-on breakthrough.
