Innovative Measures Taken in Agricultural Sector of DPRK
Pyongyang, January 9 (KCNA) -- In hearty response to the decisions of the Eleventh Plenary Meeting of the Eighth Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, agricultural officials in the DPRK conduct the work in a scientific and innovative way to increase grain production.

Officials of the Agricultural Commission and agricultural guidance organs at all levels are seriously discussing the ways for implementing the tasks facing the agricultural sector.

On the basis of the successes and experience gained in last year's farming, they are taking foresighted economic and practical measures to put all farming processes on a scientific basis and carry out the grain production plan for this year without fail.

Steps are also taken to keep farm machines on a normal track and maintain and repair them in a responsible manner, increase the proportion of mechanization in farming and update the farm machine sector.

Practical measures are taken to ensure the stability of farming by accelerating the irrigation projects for paddy and non-paddy fields affected by water shortage, drought and flooding and maintaining and repairing already-built irrigation facilities, drainage canals and waterway structures.

Innovative proposals are being made to increase the area of cropland by speeding up the construction of outer and inner-nets of tidelands and directing efforts to land realignment.

The work is being conducted to contribute to improving the people's living standards by increasing the productivity of vegetables, livestock, fruit and industrial crops.

Practical ways are being discussed to consolidate the material and technical foundations of the grain management sector.
