June 1, 2026

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.

He said that the Agricultural Commission and other relevant departments should properly appreciate the research achievements proving effective in practice during the review of greenhouse vegetable production, help share the experience with each other, set forth new research assignments and learn about their implementation on a regular basis and take necessary measures. He also underlined the need to study a mechanism measure for the Sinuiju vegetable science research base so as to quickly apply the research successes to all the greenhouse farms of the country.

He set forth important tasks for the long-term development of greenhouse farms, including the issue of increasing the number of vegetable storage facilities and greengroceries to provide the people in the province with fresh vegetables on a regular basis, the issue of establishing a well-regulated system for rapidly disseminating new advanced technologies to the greenhouse vegetable sector and the issue of establishing a system for training greenhouse experts.

He then looked round the rape fields full of fragrant flowers.

He said with pleasure that the rape fields were really spectacular, noting that they presented a distinctive sight of a large, picturesque farm town.

He said that the beautiful appearance of the island area with a sea of greenhouse vegetables and rape flowers brings him back the memory of the course of transformation in the Wihwado area and that this change is a proud epitome of socialist Korea showing the true meaning of dramatic transformation in the new era.

Saying that the Party attached importance to ecological and environmental protection as much as greenhouse farming while building the Sinuiju Combined Greenhouse Farm, he stressed the need for the farm to properly protect and maintain the rivers and roads and conserve the surrounding environments, including residential quarters, parks, ponds, embankments and street trees, in a scientific, cultured and hygienic and responsible manner.

The farm is just a visual aid and a textbook for practical education which comprehensively reflects the Party's policy, he said, affirming that the Party would make more strenuous efforts for the radical transformation of regions with the development of the Wihwado area as a starting point and turn all the farms and regions of the country into modern socialist villages and ideal land for the people without fail.

That day, Comrade Kim Jong Un inspected an advanced public health establishment, a leisure complex and a combined vegetable processing factory newly being built in the Sinuiju Combined Greenhouse Farm area, as the tasks for the third year of implementing the Party's policy on regional development.

He learned about the progress in the construction project from a commanding officer of the military unit involved in it.

Thanks to the devoted efforts of soldier-builders who are out with the single desire of loyalty to record greater miracles and feats in the 2026 record book of the struggle for realizing the Party's long-cherished desire, the construction project for the regional development policy in this area is now being pushed forward at the 50 percent line of the total project.

Comrade Kim Jong Un said that a fresh memory wells up and it is gratifying indeed to see the modern hospital, multi-functional leisure centre and specialized general vegetable processing factory being vigorously built in the significant place, where the inauguration of the Sinuiju Combined Greenhouse Farm was declared, to contribute to the promotion of regional people's health and the improvement of their cultural life. The Wihwado area will get another name as a model and standard of regional transformation in the new era when the construction of these objects is completed, he added.

He highly appreciated the fact that the specialization of construction units has been further improved and the ranks of skilled persons are being strengthened as required by the Party’s policy. And he stressed the need to provide more construction equipment and pay close attention to providing soldier-builders with good living conditions and took necessary technical measures.

He stressed that constant efforts should be directed to the political and ideological education of soldier-builders to prepare all of them to be ardent patriots who find genuine pride and worth of life in serving the country and the people, and staunch defenders and reliable implementers of the regional development policy of the WPK.

Saying that the land of the country would be richer and more beautiful along with their ongoing patriotic stride, he expressed his expectations and conviction that all the soldier-builders would more courageously write the record of struggle for uninterrupted innovation and advance in the vanguard of accomplishing the honourable cause.
