Propaganda Poster 34 |
The Green Revolution!
The Seed Revolution began with the need for agricultural productivity growth and was proposed in the New Year’s joint editorial of the “Party, Army, and Youth Daily” on January 1, 2001. Not available at your local newsagent.
70% of North Korea is covered in mountains and forests, but the idea is that even on land with poor soil fertility, the correct seeds can grow- hence the need for a revolution…the seed revolution.
Our North Korean colleague tells us that in Liangang Province, experimental cultivation of seed potatoes was carried out through the Potato Seed Revolution in Dahongdan County, and the results showed that hectare average sugar harvest was 71 tons, far exceeding the harvest by 10.6 tons.
Korean Translation:
종자혁명은 농업생산력증대의 필요성으로 부터 2001년 1월 1일 《당·군·청년보》 신년 공동사설에서 제시되였다.국토의 많은 부분이 산림으로 덮여있어 토양이 비옥하지 않은 땅에서도 잘 자라는 종자혁명을 강조하고 있다.
특히 량강도 대홍단군에서 감자종자혁명을 통하여 씨감자를 실험 재배한 결과 헥타르 당 평균 수확량인 10.6t보다 훨씬 많은 71t을 수확하였다.
Note: Propaganda is crafted across various studios throughout North Korea. The most renowned manifestation of this is in propaganda posters. In response to the fascination and interest expressed by visitors who accompanied us on Koryo Tours, we have produced meticulously hand-painted replicas of existing posters. We also aim to display originals here for those with an artistic or academic interest. The original propaganda posters are part of the Koryo Studio Collection and are not for sale. Please note that the original propaganda posters were created prior to 2015 and have no affiliation whatsoever with any officially sanctioned entity or artist.
