Facing chronic shortfalls, North Korea tells citizens to start supplying their own food

This article was originally published by Radio Free Asia and is reprinted with permission.

North Korea is ordering citizens to start producing their own food to prepare for a long-term food shortage that could last for three years, but ordinary people say that the government is shirking its responsibility, sources in the country told RFA.

The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization estimated in a recent report that North Korea would be short about 860,000 tons of food this year, about two months of normal demand.

RFA reported in April that authorities were warning residents to prepare for economic difficulties as bad as the 1994-1998 famine which killed millions by some estimates, but experts said that the situation was dire, but nothing like the 1990s.

But now sources say the ruling Korean Workers’ Party is telling the people that they are on their own to find food.

Ah, the wonders of Communist agriculture!

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Meanwhile Gates is the owner of the most farmland in the U.S.  I see the same thing eventually happening here.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

Bill Gates owns more farmland than any other individual (less than 300,000 acres), but that is still only a tiny fraction of the 911 million acres of US farmland.

How is owning less than 0.03% going to control any market?  If he shut down all production on all his land the other 99.97% of farmland is still producing.

Is his land being used for agricultural purposes? If so, perhaps he should send food to North Korea, being such a huge humanitarian, and all.

Bill Gates is the bogeyman, @thackney. Bill Gates is behind everything evil and uncomfortable in the US, doncha know. :silly:  yogi555

How Bill Gates is relevant to NoKo's famine (the topic of this thread) eludes me, but maybe that's one of his lesser know bogey-powers.

How long till Little Kim's government starts approving of Long Pig(was that offensive, should I have said Soylent Green?), I mean he has to feed all his soldiers something.

They might want to use something smaller than 40 mm for their executions.

Too much tenderizing? You know when they are too skinny they tend to be tough and stringy, maybe they should get some

I seem to recall reports from a few years ago about how many North Koreans - those not in the military or in positions of power - were trying to subsist on grass and twigs.

NoKo doesn't have the best arable land and climate for agriculture on the peninsula. Communistic ag practices exacerbate those natural issues.

More Soylent Green means more money for rocket fuel.  Plus its good for the environment.

And those that do will later be punished for "anti-communist activity".
