Kim Jong Il Gives On-Site Guidance to Pig Farms

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

   Pyongyang, December 26 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il gave on-the-spot guidance to the newly built and reconstructed pig farms.
    He was accompanied by Pak Nam Gi, department director of the Central Committee of the WPK, Ri Yong Chol and Ri Jae Il, first vice-department directors of the C.C., the WPK, and KPA Generals Hyon Chol Hae and Ri Myong Su.
    The first leg of his guidance was the Sariwon Pig Farm newly built by people in North Hwanghae Province.
    After being briefed on the farm before a huge painting showing the panoramic view of the farm, he went round the outside and inside of the farm to acquaint himself with its construction and management.
    He walked round pigsties and the feed processing room and other places of the farm to learn about the technical equipment and the pig breeding there. He expressed satisfaction over the fact that the employees of the farm are devoting their wisdom and enthusiasm to the efforts to increase the supply of pork to people.
    He set forth tasks to be implemented by the farm, noting that the appearance of one more modern pig farm in Sariwon made it possible to boost the pork production.
    The next leg of his guidance was the October 7 Pig Farm reconstructed by servicepersons of the KPA.
    Looking round the production processes on the farm, Kim Jong Il acquainted himself with the technological updating and pig breeding there.
    After going round the pig farms, he set forth important tasks which would serve as guidelines for further developing the nation's stockbreeding.
    He noted that to develop stock-breeding is one of the important ways of increasing the supply of meat to the people but also boosting the grain production.
    He said that in order to increase the production of pork at the pig farms it is necessary to thoroughly establish a scientific management system based on modern technology.
    The breeding on the chicken farms and pig farms that sprang up in recent years has been put on a scientific basis and this resulted in leaping progress in livestock products, he said, adding that the experience goes to prove that it is possible to bring about a fresh turn in stock-breeding, too, in a brief span of time when the revolutionary spirit and creative ingenuity of people are given full play on the basis of the advantages of Korean-style socialism.
    Noting that it is the aim of Korean-style socialism to protect and meet the wishes and interests of the people, he called on all fields and units to wage a dynamic drive to further develop the stock-breeding as a mass movement and thus provide the people with a more affluent and highly civilized life.
