The respectedComradeKim Jong Unwas accompanied by leading officials of the Party, government and armed forces organs, including members of the Presidium of the Political Bureau of the WPK Central Committee, and chief secretaries of provincial Party committees.
True to the policy of the Party on encouraging fish farming in paddy fields, the supply base intensified research and produced more than 70 tons of catfish per hectare while sharply lowering the feed consumption rate and increasing the fattening rate of the fish as compared to the industrial method. It also harvested over 10 tons of rice per hectare in low-yielding fields by using no fertilizers and agrochemicals.
