Kim Jong Il Inspects Duck and Fish Farms

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, March 15 (KCNA) -- Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army Kim Jong Il, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and chairman of the DPRK National Defence Commission, inspected duck and fish farms of KPA Unit 233. After being briefed on the history of the duck farm, he looked round a duck breed house, an egg hatching room, a processing room, an assorted fodder processing room and other production process to learn in detail about its construction and the breeding of ducks.
    Saying that the unit built one more edifice of eternal value where cultured practice in production is on a high level by making an effective use of locally available materials, he added this was a precious fruition of the noble spiritual world of the servicepersons who live not for today but for tomorrow with ardent love for the motherland.
    He set forth tasks which would serve as guidelines in increasing the production of duck, underscoring the need for the farm to maximize its production capacity to pay off profusely.
    He called for implementing to the letter the WPK's policy of effecting a radical turn in raising animal breeds, noting that it is important to choose good stock in order to boost the production of meat and eggs.
    In order to bring about a radical boost in stock production it is necessary to thoroughly implement the Party's policy of combining joint stock breeding with private breeding, he said, underlining the need for all farm households to wage a vigorous mass movement to raise geese, ducks and other domestic animals.
    The next leg of his visit was the fish farm of the unit.
    He went round a fish breeding ground, a hatching room, a breeding pond, a feed processing room and other places to acquaint himself in detail with the fish breeding.
    Noting that what is most important in developing the fish breeding under a long-term plan is to raise the level of scientization, he stressed the need to intensify the scientific research into pisciculture and apply an advanced method of breeding to steadily increase the fish production.
    He repeatedly praised the efforts made by the commanding officers of the unit, greatly pleased to learn that they have done a lot of work greatly helpful to improving the diet of the soldiers in recent years, true to the instructions of President Kim Il Sung that supply service precisely means a political work.
    He was accompanied by KPA Generals Ri Myong Su, Hyon Chol Hae and Pak Jae Gyong and Ri Yong Chol, member of the Central Military Commission of the WPK and first vice department director of its Central Committee.
