Pyongyang, April 29 (KCNA) -- Chestnut-based products of the Songchon County Foodstuff Factory were popular during the National Foodstuff Exhibition-2026.

The factory produces seven kinds of products with Songchon chestnut, the local specialty.

The Songchon chestnut, which has long been famous, contain carbohydrate, protein, fiber, calcium and other minerals and vitamins A and B.

The processed chestnut products are popular among the people as they are tasty and good for the health.

At last year's exhibitions, too, those products were highly appreciated. In particular, chestnuts preserved in honey and chestnut jam have been registered as February 2 goods.

This year, too, the factory set a goal of further increasing the quality and productivity of finished chestnut products, and solved the technical problems arising in chestnut storage to provide a guarantee for producing those products in every season.

Now that the demand for the chestnut products has risen, the factory has increased the output and made proactive efforts to develop new kinds of chestnut products. As a result, the factory produces various finished chestnut products as the local specialties.
