Vigorously Carry Out Land Consolidation and Land Improvement Work!
To increase agricultural land (in a country that is approximately 70% mountainous) land reclamation or improvement for increasing food production has been a major concern.
Propaganda posters are called into action to fill the workers with zeal at their task. Fine art is often employed to show the the public the results of land reclamation, for example linocut artist Hwang In Jae’s ‘The Potato Flower Fragrance of Taehongdan County’ (1999).

(paintings of fields of potatoes on previous uphill woodland in Taehongdan County in Ryanggang Province, in the north of the country, is a major source of North Korea’s potato crop.
Korean Translation;
절대적인 농지면적을 확보하기 위하여 개간을 하거나 토지를 개량하는 것은 예로부터 중요한 식량증산방법이었다.
관개, 배수, 객토 넣기, 경지정리 등을 통해 알곡수확을 높일수있다.
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.
