First Kelp Harvest since Inauguration

The Sinpho City Offshore Farm, which was built as a model of offshore farming in the new era thanks to the great loving care of the Party, harvested first kelp after its inauguration.

Sinpho City was famous as a fishery city down through its history, and now it has a ripe season of harvesting kelp.

This is a precious fruition produced by the motherly Party which promotes the historic cause of rural rejuvenation, and fully demonstrates the vitality and validity of the Party policy on putting the regional industry onto a firm foundation of development by making good use of the mountains in the mountainous regions and the sea in the coastal regions.

In July last year, the respected General Secretary, during his visit to Phungo-dong, Sinpho City, instructed that if the scallop and kelp farming is conducted well in the waters off the Phungo-dong area the city of Sinpho, which is poor in economic potentials, can become the richest among the cities and counties in the country in three to four years, and expressed his determination to successfully build up the Sinpho City Offshore Farm into a model of aquaculture in the new century and present it to the people in the city as a gift.

At the end of December, when he took part in its inauguration ceremony, he, looking round a wharf where mother- and other farming ships and submarine boats were lining up, said with pleasure that the Sinpho City Offshore Farm really looks wonderful and that visualizing those boats entering the wharf with a full load of happiness for the citizens in Sinpho makes him already happy and gives him fresh strength.

True to the ennobling intention of the respected General Secretary who devotes his efforts to the economic development of the city and the improvement of the people’s living standard, the officials of the Sinpho City Party Committee intensified the political and organizational work for bringing in rich harvest of kelp this year, a year marking the ８０th founding anniversary of the Workers’ Party of Korea.

The officials and employees of the offshore farm, keeping in mind that the struggle for attaining output goal of seaculture products is precisely the campaign for carrying out the Party’s policy, displayed the spirit of devotion.

Every day, the employees who looked forward to the harvesting season, are engrossed in harvesting a lot of kelp.

Now the officials, technicians and employees of the offshore farm are full of determination to perform their leading role in transforming the structure of fishing industry and energizing the offshore farming.
