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.
