         North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un was surrounded by a large crowd as he waved from a car at the opening ceremony of a huge farm 

 

North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un was mobbed by a huge crowd as he attended an opening ceremony for the construction of a greenhouse farm. 

The supreme leader of North Korea opened construction of the project as he hailed attempts to modernise agriculture in the country.

Kim Jong-Un, who is thought to be 38, was the first to thrust a shovel into the earth to mark the start of creating the Ryonpho Greenhouse Farm in Hamju County, in South Hamgyong province.

Kim Jong Un, who is thought to be 38, said the greenhouse farm would prove a vital food source

The farm will be 250 acres and will take eight months to finish. The ceremony included fireworks, explosions and a tractor display.

Kim said the massive greenhouse would prove essential to providing the east coast with vegetables.

He also hailed the need to modernise agriculture for rural development. 

It comes amid continued food shortages and economic troubles for the so-called Hermit Kingdom.

 

The opening ceremony included explosions and fireworks and was seemingly attended by thousands of people

Just last month the dictator penned a letter to North Korea’s Union of Agricultural Workers requesting farmers stop selling food on the black market.

Pyongyang also confirmed the Ministry of Agriculture would be reorganised into an Agricultural Commission.

Experts suggested the move was similar to Chinese attempts to boost the economy in the 1980s with large state-funded projects as opposed to creating subsidies to incentivise farmers.

North Korea has faced massive food shortages and usually relies heavily on support from China

 

North Korea’s economy has struggled following international sanctions over its testing of nuclear weapons.

The country’s mountainous landscape is largely unsuitable for farming and as such North Korea relies heavily on imports from China.

Border closures owing to Covid during the pandemic meant this food source was cut off.
