Regional-industry factories across the country are sufficiently supplying raw materials needed for the normalization of production.

The city of Hoeryong is working to ensure the supply of raw materials of sugar by its own efforts.

While finding out the areas favourable for the cultivation of sugar beet, the city took practical measures for improving soil fertility. It secured seeds of good beet species, intensified the study among the relevant employees to make them scientifically and technologically manure and cultivate sugar crops and then planted sugar beets in a raw materials base of over 20 hectares.

Unchon County is accelerating the preparations for planting sweet potatoes, one of the raw materials of sugar. The county is channelling great efforts into increasing the cultivation area this year on the basis of experience gained in the course of cultivating sweet potatoes last year. After securing lots of sweet potato seedlings, it is raising the young plants with nutritive solution, while paying attention to temperature and humidity in greenhouses.

Unhung County selected suitable places after conducting a field survey for creating Xanthoceras sorbifolia forests. Working people were told about the cultivation methods of the tree, relevant experience and its economic effectiveness and passing-on-technique sessions were arranged in a planned way. Thus, over a hundred thousand Xanthoceras sorbifolia trees were planted on the vast areas. And the county secured Sambucus coreana tree saplings for soap materials.

Training of skilled workers has been conducted in a planned manner at regional-industry factories across the country.

Kangwon Province selected promising objects to make them attend passing-on-technique sessions held in the light industry factories in Pyongyang and the regional-industry factories in Hamju County so as to improve the technical knowledge and skills of trainees. Close attention has been paid to improving educational conditions and environment of vocational schools, which take a big share in the training of skilled workers, and strengthening their teaching forces.

Jongphyong County is also taking steps to increase the ranks of skilled workers.

The practical abilities of working people are being increased through practical training at different factories and they are enrolled at the study-while-you-work system so as to train them to be competent personnel.
