In October Juche 109 (2020), the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un visited the township of Kimhwa County under recovery from flood damage and indicated the concrete orientation and ways of turning the county into the people's ideal land and gaining practical experience for the development of regional industry.

Regional industry factories in the county have produced various kinds of quality consumer goods and supplied them to the inhabitants of the county for the past two years.

The Kimhwa County Foodstuff Factory, a comprehensive foodstuff production base with a complete set of modern germ-free and dust-free equipment, has played a big role in improving the people's standard of living.

The clothing factory produces various kinds of garments including ready-made clothes and increased output over 1.2 times last year over the previous year.

The county has also produced various consumer goods, building materials and paper products by increasing the number of skilled workers and securing the locally available enough raw materials and resources.

Fine building materials made with the locally available materials have been used in the construction of dwelling houses which is aimed at translating into reality the Party's programme for the rural revolution in the new era. So they are popular with the owners of new houses.

Officials and working people in the county, who are well aware that the solution of the problem of raw materials is urgent, boosted the area of cultivation material base more than 2.5 times and improved the fertility of soil. As a result, they increased per-hectare yield of maize over two times.

Not content with further improving the packing of goods and producing 125 varieties of 46 kinds of products, they have set 10-odd technical innovation goals for expanding the variety of goods and improving their quality in the first half of this year and are now pushing ahead with them.

The success of Kimhwa County is a precious asset and experience in reducing the gap between town and rural area and between the capital and the regional areas in all fields, eliminating imbalance and accelerating the building of a rich and civilized society.
