Pak Thae Song, member of the Presidium of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea and premier of the Cabinet of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, inspected various sectors of the national economy.

At the Kumsong Tractor Factory, he called upon the officials and workers to make redoubled efforts in order to attain the tractor and farm machine production goals decided at the Ninth Congress of the WPK, bearing deep in mind the great trust and expectations of the Party Central Committee which put forward the factory as a treasure factory leading the development of the farm machine industry of the country.

Going round various production processes including the gear workshop, assembly workshop and standardized goods workshop, he called for further improving the accuracy of the processing of parts, reinforcing and perfecting measuring instruments and steadily increasing the efficiency and productivity of equipment.

The field consultative meeting discussed the issues of ensuring the smooth and timely supply of products under contract and materials necessary for tractor production and actively developing efficient farm machines suited to the topographical conditions and actual situation of the country and took relevant measures.

After acquainting himself with the farming at the Sosin Vegetable Farm in Ryokpho District and the Tanggok Farm in Kangnam County, he called upon the agricultural sector to cultivate crops in a more scientific way in conformity with the abnormal weather condition in which high temperature is persisting and the growth state of crops, and to widely introduce double and triple cropping methods based on first and second crops cultivation and inter after-cropping and thus raise the level of intensive agricultural production.
