Han Jong Hyok, chairman of the Central Committee of the UAWK, read out review data.

He said that last year officials and working people in the agricultural sector raised the per-hectare yield and overfulfilled the grain production plan by massively introducing high-yielding seeds, advanced farming methods and efficient farm machines and conducting a dynamic mass movement for doing farming in a scientific and technological way true to the decisions of the Ninth Plenary Meeting of the Eighth Central Committee of the WPK.

He stressed that the valuable successes made last year are a precious fruition of the wise leadership and devotion of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un who energetically led the work of the agricultural sector, taking strong Party and state measures for steadily increasing the agricultural production of the country.

The standings were announced at the meeting.

Citations in the joint name of the Central Committee of the WPK, the Standing Committee of the Supreme People’s Assembly of the DPRK and the Cabinet of the DPRK and rotating pennants were awarded to South Phyongan Province, Pyongyang Municipality, Sukchon and Mundok counties and the Ryongnim Farm of Mundok County.

A citation of the Central Committee of the UAWK and rotating pennant were conferred on the Anak County Irrigation Management Station which won the socialist emulation drive among city and county irrigation management stations.
