Ryanggang Province in the northern part of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is famous for producing potatoes.
It has the Samjiyon Potato Farina Production Factory which can produce thousands of tons of potato farina a year.
The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un is always concerned to make the people's diet more affluent and diverse. He proposed building the factory and led the whole course of the project. And he called at the factory on four occasions.
Pak Il Yong, Section Chief of the Academy of Social Sciences, said the factory was built into an unmanned and manpower-saving factory, which is unthinkable apart from the meticulous guidance of Kim Jong Un. He continued:
"On April 3, 2019 the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un visited the Samjiyon Potato Farina Production Factory for the fourth time.
He looked with pleasure at the workers sitting at the potato sorting table.
Originally, there were no chairs at the working site.
When he had called at the factory one day in July of the previous year, Kim Jong Un had looked at the workers working in front of the potato sorting table for a while. He approached a sorter and asked if it was difficult and said in a worried voice that it would be difficult to work standing for eight hours.
That was how the chairs were placed at the sorting table and sorters could work more easily sitting on them."
Kim Jong Un is concerned about the convenience and health of workers first before production.
Today, the workers of the factory are leading a civilized working life at the factory associated with his meticulous guidance.
