Scientists and researchers of the Provincial Institute of Agricultural Science, Hyesan University of Agriculture and Forestry and the Provincial Commission of Science and Technology bred new strains of fruit trees by acclimatizing them to the cold in northern highlands. Scientific research institutes in Pyongyang sincerely helped them.

The province produced many fruit saplings and supplied them to different counties and cities.

So apple, apricot and other fruit trees have been planted in the areas of Mt Paektu.

Wild pear tree planting gets popular in Pochon County and many fruit trees have been planted in several farms and villages in Samjiyon City.

The number of fruit-growing sub-workteams in farms and fruit tree villages is on the increase in the province.
