Pyongyang, November 1 (KCNA) -- All cities and counties of the DPRK have launched a campaign to build their own raw material bases and revitalize their operation this year, the first year of implementing the Workers' Party of Korea's Regional Development 20×10 Policy.

Harvesting and threshing are now progressing at the final stage at tens of thousands of hectares of raw material bases, including more than 13 000 hectares of raw material bases which have been newly created in the country.

The per-hectare yield of raw materials base stations has increased in 20 cities and counties, where modern regional-industry factories will be built this year.

Cities and counties across the country have reclaimed new lands and increased their fertility. -0-
