The agricultural situation of North Korea
KIM, W.K.
The agricultural situation of North Korea - Taipei City, CN Food and Fertilizer Technology Center (FFTC) 1999 - 11 p. - Extension bulletin no. 475 .
The recent food shortages in North Korea are the result of climatic disasters, some problems with collective farming, and the economic difficulties which began in the early 1990s. As economic difficulties resulted in a shortage of energy, and of raw materials such as fertilizer and agricultural chemicals, agricultural productivity decreased. The situation was made even worse by the cold weather, floods, and droughts which have occurred frequently since 1993. Thus, the food situation in North Korea is now in a state of difficulty. Recently some policy changes are giving encouraging results. Sumario (eng)
