SEOUL -- North Korea may become self-sufficient in feeding its own people in three or four years, a representative who heads the U.N.'s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) office in the communist country said Saturday.
| Quicker if they shoot all the communists... |
| I could drop twenty pounds and grow my hair back, too. |
Speaking at a Voice of Russia (VOR) program, Belay Derza Gaga said the North is expected to produce some 6 million tons of grain this year and that output has been growing steadily. He pointed out that policymakers have been emphasizing the importance of agriculture in economic policies that has led to more investment in related fields.
Gaga, however, said that the country still suffers from shortfalls in electricity, fuel and farm equipment.
| And in freedom, liberty, social mobility, law and order... |
| Come, come. It must be admitted they have plenty of laws and even more orders. |
The FAO official said in the VOR program monitored in Seoul that Mongolia's plan to provide 10,000 livestock to the North is part of a move to help the North feed itself. The animals are expected to be shipped to a special region in the North that will be used as a new base for the country's livestock industry.
To feed the military.
A quiet suggestion: starve out the leaders. Starve out the apparatchiks. Blockade and freeze all their money. Not a scrap of food aid. The country will fall, China and South Korea can work out an accommodation, and we can come home. |
