True to the idea and leadership of the great Party Central Committee, the working class in the DPRK manufactured modern farm machines and sent them to South Hwanghae Province, a western granary of the DPRK.

The respected General Secretary, who clearly indicated the way to the comprehensive prosperity of our state and set forth the new programme for the rural revolution for the rapid development of the socialist countryside, wisely led the field of the munitions industry, our revolutionary industry, to turn out in rendering support to the agricultural sector and other national economic sectors.

In hearty response to the call of the Party Central Committee workers and officials in the field of the munitions industry have manufactured thousands of new-type efficient mobile rice combined threshers, small-sized rice harvesters, maize combined threshers and combination soil management machines through a vigorous production campaign.

A ceremony for conveying the farm machines sent to South Hwanghae Province by Kim Jong Un took place at Haeju Square on Sept. 25.
