Visit to Fish Protein Concentrate Factory

Kim Jong Un, First Secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea, First Chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK and Supreme Commander of the Korean People’s Army, gave on-site guidance at the Fish Protein Concentrate Factory newly built by the KPA.

Feasting his eyes on the factory, he said that a foundation was laid for producing and supplying the protein concentrate necessary for breeding fish and it opened up a prospect for carrying out the behests of President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il who had made so much efforts for improving the dietary life of the service personnel and people by developing fish farming.

The appearance of the factory alone proves that a lot of efforts have been made with firm determination, he said, noting with great satisfaction that its builders demonstrated once again the work style and mettle of the People’s Army in implementing the behests of the leaders and the Party’s policy on developing fish farming.

After being briefed before a map showing a panoramic view of the factory, he went round its various places to learn in detail about production there.

He said that it was good that the factory was producing varieties of fish protein concentrates for sturgeon, rainbow trout and others with tiny shrimp, sand launce, anchovy and hard-finned sandfish.

Noting that the People’s Army is taking the lead in the effort to  locally produce fish food, he stressed that the construction of the factory made it possible to breed fishes of various species in a big way with the fish meal produced by it.

He set forth the tasks to be tackled by the factory.

Underlining the need to pay deep attention to the work for updating the factory and establishing cultured practice in production and life at a higher level, he said it should reinforce modern equipment and put fish selection, processing, packing and conveyance on a streamlined and unmanned basis and turn its compound into a thick woodland and greenery.

He stressed the need to regularly supply fishes for the production of fodder in order to keep the factory operating in full capacity and take a thorough measure to prevent fodder from going bad. He added that the factory should build up a strong technical force and raise the level of technical skill of its employees to establish a scientific method of fish meal production.

Expressing expectation and conviction that the employees of the factory would discharge their duties with credit, he had a photo session with them.
