N. Korea's agricultural ministry elevated to state commission amid food shortages
The Standing Committee of the Supreme People's Assembly, the North's rubber-stamp legislature, made the decision to better "lead the country's agricultural production in a unified manner," the North's official Korean Central Broadcasting Station reported. "The Cabinet and relevant organs will take practical measures to implement the decree."
The announcement came about a month after the North rolled out a series of measures to develop the country's agricultural sector during a ruling party plenary last year.
At the high-profile party gathering, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un ordered "important revolutionary measures" to address "rural questions," suggesting they are among the most pressing tasks facing the country.
The North is estimated to be falling short by around 1 million tons of food every year, with the coronavirus-driven border controls believed to have taken a toll on its already substandard food situation. (Yonhap)
