KCNA
Pyongyang, December 25 (KCNA) -- This year the Democratic People's Republic of Korea has witnessed signal successes in the consumer goods production by making an utmost and effective use of the already established economic foundations and production capacity.
As of the end of July, the Sinuiju, Kangso and other shoes factories in different parts of the country produced various kinds of over nine million pairs of shoes more than in the same period of last year. Their shoes production has reached a record high this year.
Basic foodstuff producers across the country including the Kanggye and Hamhung basic foodstuff factories and the Sakju Foodstuff Factory have given definite precedence to the supply of raw materials and thus kept the production on a higher level than last year.
The Pyongyang, Sinuiju and other textile mills under the Textile Industry Management Bureau have already hit their yearly targets. The Pakchon and Nyongbyon silk mills have introduced a new printing method and cloth processing method into production to boost silk fabrics output.
Such achievements have also been reported from the Kyongryon Aeguk Carbonated Drink Factory, the Sinuiju Cosmetics Factory and the Pyongyang Children's Foodstuff Factory.
The Kangso Mineral Water Factory and the Pyongyang Cosmetics Factory were reconstructed on an expansion basis and the Pyongyang Chewing Gum Factory was built to start production.
Local industry factories in North Phyongan, Jagang and other provinces have also increased the consumer goods production by tapping raw materials in their areas.
In August the local industrial factories in all the provinces raised the production of primary consumer goods by 20.5 percent as against the same period of last year.
