Kim Jong Un Provides Field Guidance to Mushroom Farm
Pyongyang, July 15 (KCNA) -- Marshal Kim Jong Un, supreme commander of the Korean People's Army (KPA), first secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and first chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK, provided field guidance to the Mushroom Farm built by Farm No. 1116 under KPA Unit 534.

Being briefed on the farm before a huge map showing its panoramic view, he acquainted himself in detail with its construction and production.

The mushroom cultivation grounds look very nice and I am pleased to see them, he said, highly praising the unit for having built a modern mushroom farm with a large capacity and boosted the production.

He praised the unit for having built the indoor cultivation grounds by a dry method of construction through the introduction of latest technology for making the mushroom production intensive while using a minimum area for production in a matter of a few months, in particular.

He asked about the quantity of mushroom produced in the newly-built indoor cultivation grounds in a year. He said he was pleased among other things that the farm is capable of reaping a high and secure harvest of mushroom even in a small area by producing mushroom all the year round unlike arch-style mushroom cultivation grounds.

At the general control room, he was pleased to learn that the farm has automated a monitoring and control system whereby the growth of mushrooms at every cultivation ground is monitored and production is commanded in real time.

Going round a fungus cultivation ground, he said that it is important to produce fungus in mushroom cultivation, adding that production can be increased when fungi are cultivated by an industrial method.

He said that it is good for the farm to produce mushroom at both arch-style mushroom grounds and the indoor cultivation grounds built by a dry method of construction, instructing the army and society to build mushroom farms in a big way by following the example set by this farm.

He said that it is necessary to thoroughly implement the behest of President Kim Il Sung who called for turning the country into a world famous mushroom producer by building such mushroom farms in different parts of the country.

Underlining the need to provide a standard design in order to build modern mushroom farms and scrupulously organize a work for introducing mushroom cultivation technique and experience, he took measures for doing so with his loving care.

He had a photo session with the employees of the mushroom farm.

He was accompanied by Choe Ryong Hae, Jang Jong Nam, Jon Chang Bok, Han Kwang Sang, Kim Kyong Ok, Hwang Pyong So and Ma Won Chun.
