Food Shortage in North Korea?


Yes there is a food shortage in North Korea. The information comes from two United Nations agencies. They did put out the information that 84% of the household don’t have enough food to eat. North Korea is considered one of the poorest countries and has lately been unable to feed the major of his population. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Food Program (WFP) does projected that North Korea needs to import 340 000 tons of cereals during the 2013 and 2014 year. While the government targets 300 000 tons. The 40 000 tons of food shortage is considered to be a lot. The situation is a little encouraging due to the fact that there is an increase of 5% in the agricultural production but there is still too many families and individuals that don’t have enough to eat each day. Better price on the market could be a solution. There is definitely international aid needed to help North Korea food shortage problem.
