For a long time, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea or DPRK has been trying to make itself selfsufficient in food production. Something we might take for granted in other countries, is very hard for this one.

Reliable information about the country is hard to come by. The government's official channels are not exactly super credible and so people mostly rely on anecdotes or rumors. But we are going to do our best.
