North Korean leader Kim Jong-un inspected the Sinuiju Combined Greenhouse Farm (a large state-run agricultural complex on Wihwa Island in northwestern North Korea, built after devastating floods in 2024) on 31 May, state media reported. It was his eighth visit to the site, which Pyongyang promotes as a showcase of its regional development policy, and he expressed satisfaction with daily harvests of hundreds of tonnes of vegetables being supplied to orphanages and schools. Kim called for year-round production, greater crop diversification, mechanisation, and faster adoption of new technologies, framing the complex as an urgent priority for improving ordinary citizens' livelihoods.
