A well-regulated system has been established in the DPRK for decades to supply nutritious foodstuffs to children at nurseries and kindergartens. A series of state measures have been taken one after another in addition in recent years to provide children with better upbringing conditions.
“Dairy products are supplied to children every day according to the childcare policy of the Workers’ Party of Korea adopted in 2021. The Sixth Plenary Meeting of the Eighth Central Committee of the WPK stressed that it is a matter of great importance in implementing the childcare policy to perform the nutrition management of children in a scientific way. Accordingly, the standard table which had been set several decades ago was reviewed and scientifically redefined to suit the constitutional features of the children,” said Pak Chun Sil, head of Sohung-dong Nursery in Moranbong District, Pyongyang.
The nutrition standard per child increased, she said, adding that the basic principles of child nutrition management are adequacy, balance and diversity and many nutritious foods were added by largely classifying them into protein, sugary, fatty and vitamin and mineral ones.
According to Choe Ju Hyok, an official of the Ministry of Commerce, the state takes charge of bringing up children at nurseries and kindergartens and supplies them with dozens of kinds of nutritive foodstuffs at its expense.
Now nutritious foodstuffs are mass-produced across the country under the national production and supply system of nutritious foodstuffs for children and they are supplied to all children every day through the supply stores of goods for nurseries and kindergartens.
“According to the nationwide survey of the growth and development of children conducted last year, it was estimated that the overall immunity of children has been boosted and the nutrition of children in rural areas has been improved day by day,” said Jang Chol Hun, director of the Children’s Nutrition Research Institute under the Academy of Medical Science.
