Thanks to the patriotic devotion of officials and working people across the country, more than 58 500 hectares of new land have been secured and registered as agricultural land and over 21 000 hectares of farmland restored throughout the country for the past six years.
The Party Central Committee has conducted on a large scale the work to decisively increase the areas of grain cultivation in search of more croplands.

On the basis of the analysis based on satellite image data and the survey of the use of land including the forest land and water area land, they have expanded the areas of new land and registered them as agricultural land.
North Phyongan Province has made a scientific survey of land ownership according to regions and units in cities and counties and secured more than 4 510 hectares of cropland in the first one year.
Suan, Koksan and Singye counties in North Hwanghae Province have realigned rivers, surroundings of villages and ridges between fields and straightened waterways, thus turning over 6 100 hectares of land into cultivated areas.
The officials of South Hwanghae Province fulfilled the plan for acquiring new land by improving the effectiveness of information and motivation work and raising the operation rate of vehicles.
Sunchon City and Sukchon County in South Phyongan Province have secured a large area of cultivated land.
Farmlands have been restored in different parts of the country.
The irrigation water has flowed to over 8 300 hectares of paddy fields which had been turned into fields, thus providing a guarantee for increased grain production.
Nearly 8 000 hectares of land which were lost and buried due to the flood damage have been restored by the state measures for minimizing flood damage.
Officials and working people across the country reclaimed grass fields and improved their fertility so that crops are planted on over 5 400 hectares of farmland which had not been used owing to the unfavorable conditions for cultivation. -0-
