Pyongyang, November 8 (KCNA) -- North and South Hwanghae provinces of the DPRK are pushing ahead with the work to secure raw materials needed for the operation of regional-industry factories.

South Hwanghae Province has already carried out its overall plan for securing raw materials by more than 85 percent.

The province finished farming at raw material bases to secure raw materials for cultivation as planned and conducted a mass movement to collect wild fruits.

North Hwanghae Province has increased the area of oil-producing crops this year.

It has waged an emulation drive among cities and counties to achieve successes in securing oil-bearing materials. -0-
