Efforts Made to Lay Basis for Increased Salt Production
Pyongyang, October 23 (KCNA) -- The salt industry of the DPRK concentrates efforts on laying a solid foundation for increased production.

The modernization of salt production bases is progressing apace.

Buildings of the Onchon Tile Factory were spruced up in a modern way and various kinds of machines and equipment have been installed as required by the design and process.

The salt-making machine repair plant has carried on the finishing construction project as scheduled, while stepping up the production of water pumps for next year.

The project for consolidating the production base is gaining momentum at salt works.

The Kwangryangman Salt Works built more than 20 pumping stations and has pushed ahead with the work to repair coastal embankments and increase the carrying capacity by cableway in a planned and long-term way.

The Kwisong Salt Works is directing efforts to enhancing the role of technicians and skilled workers while accelerating the repair of pumping equipment necessary for underground ultra-saline water production.

The Kumsong Salt Works has striven to produce and store salt water in winter by reinforcing the embankment of salt fields.

The same is true of Unha and Nampho salt works.
