The North Korean authorities have spread propaganda declaring how well the system has been working, but there is no firm evidence to suggest that the system is contributing to the country\u2019s agricultural production. <\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_37980\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-37980\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/10\/\ub18d\ucd0c\uc9c0\uc5ed-\ub178\uc778\ub4e4\uc740-\ub18d\uc0ac\uc77c\uc744-\ub3d5\uace0-\uc788\ub294-\uac83\uc73c\ub85c-\uc804\ud574\uc9c0\uace0-\uc788\ub2e4.-\ud3c9\uc548\ubd81\ub3c4-\uc9c0\uc5ed-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37980\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/10\/\ub18d\ucd0c\uc9c0\uc5ed-\ub178\uc778\ub4e4\uc740-\ub18d\uc0ac\uc77c\uc744-\ub3d5\uace0-\uc788\ub294-\uac83\uc73c\ub85c-\uc804\ud574\uc9c0\uace0-\uc788\ub2e4.-\ud3c9\uc548\ubd81\ub3c4-\uc9c0\uc5ed-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/10\/\ub18d\ucd0c\uc9c0\uc5ed-\ub178\uc778\ub4e4\uc740-\ub18d\uc0ac\uc77c\uc744-\ub3d5\uace0-\uc788\ub294-\uac83\uc73c\ub85c-\uc804\ud574\uc9c0\uace0-\uc788\ub2e4.-\ud3c9\uc548\ubd81\ub3c4-\uc9c0\uc5ed-2.png 800w, https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/10\/\ub18d\ucd0c\uc9c0\uc5ed-\ub178\uc778\ub4e4\uc740-\ub18d\uc0ac\uc77c\uc744-\ub3d5\uace0-\uc788\ub294-\uac83\uc73c\ub85c-\uc804\ud574\uc9c0\uace0-\uc788\ub2e4.-\ud3c9\uc548\ubd81\ub3c4-\uc9c0\uc5ed-2-300x193.png 300w, https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/10\/\ub18d\ucd0c\uc9c0\uc5ed-\ub178\uc778\ub4e4\uc740-\ub18d\uc0ac\uc77c\uc744-\ub3d5\uace0-\uc788\ub294-\uac83\uc73c\ub85c-\uc804\ud574\uc9c0\uace0-\uc788\ub2e4.-\ud3c9\uc548\ubd81\ub3c4-\uc9c0\uc5ed-2-768x494.png 768w, https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/10\/\ub18d\ucd0c\uc9c0\uc5ed-\ub178\uc778\ub4e4\uc740-\ub18d\uc0ac\uc77c\uc744-\ub3d5\uace0-\uc788\ub294-\uac83\uc73c\ub85c-\uc804\ud574\uc9c0\uace0-\uc788\ub2e4.-\ud3c9\uc548\ubd81\ub3c4-\uc9c0\uc5ed-2-696x448.png 696w, https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/10\/\ub18d\ucd0c\uc9c0\uc5ed-\ub178\uc778\ub4e4\uc740-\ub18d\uc0ac\uc77c\uc744-\ub3d5\uace0-\uc788\ub294-\uac83\uc73c\ub85c-\uc804\ud574\uc9c0\uace0-\uc788\ub2e4.-\ud3c9\uc548\ubd81\ub3c4-\uc9c0\uc5ed-2-652x420.png 652w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-37980\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">An elderly North Korean resident takes a brief rest while working on a farm in North Pyongan Province.
