The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and President of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, gave field guidance at the Sinuiju Combined Greenhouse Farm on May 31.

He was accompanied by senior Party and government officials.

The greenhouse farm, built on the banks of the Amnok River in the northwestern end of the country as an outcome of the WPK's noble ideal and long-cherished desire, has a good crop of vegetables at present. And hundreds of hectares of it are covered with rape flowers in full bloom and therefore the scenic beauty of the Wihwado area is at its height.

Comrade Kim Jong Un was greeted by Yang Myong Chol, chief secretary of the North Phyongan Provincial Committee of the WPK, and officials of the farm.

Going round hydroponic and edaphic greenhouses of different styles and experimental cultivation greenhouses, he learned in detail about the production, vegetable science research and management of the farm.

Expressing satisfaction over the report of the farm manager that the greenhouse farm has harvested hundreds of tons of various vegetables in tens of species at over 1 150 greenhouses every day and supplied them to orphanages, baby homes, primary schools for orphans and commercial units on a regular basis to contribute to improving the dietary life of the regional people, he highly appreciated the patriotic devotion of its agricultural workers who are demonstrating the validity and vitality of the Party's policy with their pure conscience and production results.

Saying it is an urgent matter to minimize energy consumption in the production of vegetables and provide an effective and appropriate environment for the growth of different varieties of vegetables so as to reduce costs and cultivate vegetables in all seasons, he clarified in detail the scientific and technological issues to this end.

The farm should not be preoccupied with productivity alone, but increase the variety of vegetables and manure and tend them in a sci-tech way to provide the people with nutritious and tasty vegetables, he said, adding that it would be good to actively organize a socialist emulation drive among farms to this end.

Stating that it is an important policy-oriented requirement of the Party for greenhouse farms to raise the proportion of farm work done by machines and automate the transport means, he specified the ways for fulfilling it.

Noting that the Sinuiju Vegetable Science Research Centre has a very important duty in putting greenhouse vegetable production on a scientific basis, he stressed that only when it properly plays its role as an academic guidance unit and a scientific research and dissemination base which comprehensively leads the work of breeding, researching, growing and disseminating vegetable seeds, can it promote the trend towards the balanced and planned development for the greenhouse farms to be built across the country.
