SEOUL, Feb. 28 (UPI) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un called for a “radical change in the agricultural production” of his isolated country amid food shortages that outside experts say are worsening, state media reported Tuesday.
Kim made his remarks on the second day of a plenary meeting of the ruling Workers’ Party that was convened to address the country’s crop yields and rural development.
The goal of the session was to find ways “for successfully attaining the grain production goal this year and bringing about a radical change in the agricultural production within a few years,” Kim said, according to the state-run Korean Central News Agency.
