Agricultural officials and workers throughout the country are now concentrating efforts on harvest and threshing.

With a higher sense of responsibility, officials of the agricultural guidance organs are striving to make sure that daily plans are carried out without fail, while directing special efforts to increasing the operating rate of farm machines.

They are encouraging farms to speed up rice harvesting to the maximum while overcoming the unfavourable weather conditions, based on scientific consideration of the features of the varieties of paddy rice, and farms across the country are pushing the rice harvest at a fast pace.

Cities and counties in South Hwanghae Province, the biggest agricultural province of the country, are harvesting rice on thousands of hectares of paddies every day by correctly fixing work order according to plots and maximizing the operation rate of farm machines such as rice combine harvesters.

North Hwanghae Province is overfulfilling harvest plans day by day.

South Phyongan Province is pushing ahead with the rice harvest and threshing as planned even under the unfavourable weather conditions, while taking appropriate measures in advance to prevent the decay and degeneration of the crops.

Thus, the number of cities, counties and farms which finished the rice harvest is increasing across the country.

According to data available, different cities and counties in North and South Hamgyong, Jagang and Ryanggang provinces finished the rice harvest by October 4 and the number of the farms which finished the rice harvest continues to increase in other provinces including South Hwanghae Province.
