Why Was He So Pleased

One day several years ago, the respected General Secretary Kim Jong Un gave the fifth visit to the Farm No.1116.

That day he highly appreciated that officials and working people of the farm proved in practice the validity and vitality of our Party’s policy for bringing about a radical turn in seed improvement by cultivating a high-yield variety of grains with short growing period and high tolerance to harmful insects which could ensure high and stable crop yields in our country’s natural and geographical conditions of having limited crop area and in unfavorable climatic conditions.

Then he added that all units should follow their experiences.

His praise made the officials be deep in thoughts.

When they looked back on their past, their successes could be achieved under the leadership of the respected General Secretary who visited the farm several times and showed great benevolence to let them take the important role in the agricultural development of the country.

However, he highly praised their successes made by dint of science and technology, regardless of his devotion.

Looking up to the respected General Secretary, the officials made decisions to cultivate more high-yield variety of grains which could ensure high and stable crop yields in unfavorable climatic conditions so as to make a stable development of grain production by dint of science and technology and lightened the burdens of the respected General Secretary who devotes his all to people.

Secret of Increased Production

One September day Juche 106(2017), the respected General Secretary visited Kwail County, South Hwanghae Province, which reaped a bumper fruit harvest.

Shaking hands with its officials one by one, he highly appreciated that they really took much trouble to produce plenty of fruits in spite of its dire natural disasters.

Touching apples heavily hanging on branches one by one, he noted this was said that apple trees were heavily laden with fruits.

It was very great that there were many fruit workteams which had produced 70-80 tons of fruits per hectare, and trees were heavily laden with apples as they were laden with over 200 apples on an average per tree, over 300 apples at the maximum, he said with a broad laugh.

That day he gave precious instructions to the officials that this was an age of science and technology, that the days when fruits were raised in reliance on weather had already passed, that advanced methods and technology of fruit production must be applied actively and that the key to fruit production lay in moving it on to a surer scientific, modern and intensive footing than ever.

A key to increased production is science and technology.

Keeping in their minds his instructions that the bumper fruit harvest should be reaped by science and technology, the officials felt again that the county could discharge its mission as the fruit production base conducive to the people’s living standard and increase their production only when they rely on science and technology.
