Visit to Kosan Combined Fruit Farm

Kim Jong Un, Chairman of the Workers' Party of Korea, Chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the DPRK and Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army, inspected the Kosan Combined Fruit Farm.

He looked round the room for the education in the revolutionary history which was remodelled to hand down to posterity the immortal revolutionary exploits performed by President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il on the farm.

Watching the precious historic relics with keen attention, he said that the farm built under the far-reaching plan of the President turned into a combined fruit production base thanks to the loving care of the Chairman.

Laudable successes achieved by the farm would be unthinkable without the devoted efforts of the great leaders Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il who had indicated a bright prospect for the farm, he noted, adding that one should always remember how the history of the sea of apple orchards began at the foot of Chol Pass.

He enjoyed a bird's-eye view of the farm from an observation pavilion which Kim Jong Il had mounted and looked round orchards.

Very pleased to hear that the farm expects to harvest more than 50 tons per hectare from dozens of hectares of orchards this year, he said with a broad smile, every tree is heavily laden with apples.

He made the rounds of the newly built fruit store and noted that officials and members of the Construction Shock Brigade 618 have impeccably creditably built the modern fruit store with a capacity of thousands of tons. He highly praised them for having made a positive contribution to developing the farm into the world's leading fruit farm.

Watching vehicles and forklifts provided by the WPK, he promised to send more modern fruit-farming machines including power-driven sprayers to the farm.

Underlining the need for the farm to intensify the drive for making a rapid progress in production on the basis of the achievements made this year, he set forth the tasks facing the farm.

He said the officials and other employees of the farm has brought the greatest harvest of fruits in the history of Kosan by displaying the spirit of devotedly implementing the Party’s policies, bearing deep in mind the Party’s intention to sufficiently provide people with fruits. This farm is a model and iconic one as it showed in practice how to carry out the Party’s policies. He gave the farm special thanks in the name of the WPK Central Committee.

The news of the rich fruit harvest which visited the farm would instill great strength and courage in the service personnel and other people who are working fresh miracles in turning adversity into blessing in the campaign for recovering from the flood damage in the northern part of the country by dint of single-hearted unity, he said, adding that he was very pleased to think about it.

He expressed his expectation and conviction that officials and other employees of the farm would develop the farm into a standard farm befitting a highly civilized socialist nation and the one to be proud of before the world and bring about fresh leaping progress in fruit production every year through the army-people joint operations.
