June 20 - North Korea: 'drought threatens harvest'

Article: Signs Of The Last Times
 

A long dry spell has persisted throughout the North since late April, with some western coastal areas receiving just one tenth of the usual rainfall during the period, according to Pyongyang's state media. Forecasters say the dry spell is likely to last at least another week.
 
"Drought has already considerably affected early-season crops such as wheat, barley and potatoes," Kwon Tae-Jin, a senior researcher at the South's state-run Korea Rural Economic Institute, said in a report. The drought is likely to deprive the North of 86,000 tonnes of food, some 17 per cent of early-season crops, Kwon said.
"If the dry spell continues until the end of June, it will have a very serious impact on the main-season crop of maize," Kwon told AFP.

The drought has hit 196,882 hectares (486,298 acres) or 17 per cent of North Korea's total farmland, the UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) said in a report posted on its website on Monday. Any drop in production was likely to add to the food shortfall and worsen food insecurity in the country, it said.

"Three million vulnerable people, mainly living in the five most food-insecure provinces of Yanggang, Jagang, North Hamkyong, South Hamkyong and Kangwon, are in urgent need of international food assistance," it said.
