Pyongyang Times:Variety of products triples
Modern regional-industry factories, built as the first entities of the regional development policy of the Workers’ Party of Korea, have increasingly strived to produce more and better goods favoured by the people, and thus the variety of the products has trebled over the early period after their inauguration.
True to the Party’s policy on making effective use of mountains in mountainous regions and the sea in coastal regions, officials and employees of different city and county foodstuff factories have put effort into developing and producing distinctive foodstuffs with raw materials available in their regions.
Food processing plants transform local specialties (chestnuts, ginger, pepper, seafood). At the same time, factories producing everyday goods innovate (materials, soaps), and clothing manufacturers adapt their designs to regional tastes and climates.
