NK News is hiring

The regional-industry factories in Songchon County, the first entity of the implementation of the Regional Development 20×10 Policy, were inaugurated in December last year and went into production on a normal basis. Their products are giving joy to locals in the county.

Popular goods, famous commodities peculiar to region

Sweet chestnut is a typical speciality of Songchon County for its delicate flavour.

The foodstuff factory uses it to turn out jam, jelly and honey preserves.

It also produces different kinds of foods with locally-available wild fruits including acorns, tara vine fruit, wild grapes and magnoliavine fruit. The varieties of its products amount to over 50 in more than 10 kinds, including soy sauce, oil, soybean syrup, liquor, fruit drinks, milk products, candy and processed vegetables.

A new type of women’s coat presented by the county garment factory was highly appreciated at the Clothes Show-2024.

The foodstuffs and daily necessities produced at the regional-industry factories in the county bear the trademarks of “Chongsusan” and “Wolhyangsan”, names of the mountains located in the place, and they are much favoured by the locals.

Aiming at achieving “zero” in business management

Of note in the management of the factories are the improvement of quality and the rise in actual yield.

The foodstuff factory supplies its by-products including the dregs of soybean syrup and lees to livestock farming bases in the county. The daily necessities factory recycles residual products to make various kinds of plastic goods, fixture boards and flakeboards. Oil dregs and cakes from the soap production process are used as hukposan (humic acid) fertilizer for low-yielding fields. The garment factory turns out cushions, gloves and other daily necessities with various kinds of yarn waste and cuttings.

“No-waste factory” is another title given to the regional-industry factories in Songchon County.

First entity in implementing regional development policy

The successful completion of those factories with a total floor space of over 10 470 square metres in just 290-odd days is unthinkable apart from devotion and energetic leadership of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un who spares nothing for the promotion of the people’s welfare and the accomplishment of their ideals.

It is the essence of the new regional development policy put forward by General Secretary Kim Jong Un to make all the Korean people equally enjoy an affluent and civilized life under the socialist policies of the state wherever they live, irrespective of the capital or the provinces and cities or remote mountain villages.

That is why he attached a special meaning to the construction of the regional-industry factories in Songchon County heralding the start of the rural industrial revolution and visited the place four times, attending their ground-breaking and inaugural ceremonies.

According to his plan for making ideal features of local areas represent the genuine looks of Korean-style socialism, the construction of health facilities, cultural complexes and grain management facilities is under way in parallel with that of regional-industry factories across the country, stepping up the historic cause of regional rejuvenation.
