Looking at the Mountain of Potatoes

There is the Samjiyon Potato Farina Production Factory in Ranggang Province in the northern part of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
One day in October 2018, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un visited the factory during his field guidance to the city of Samjiyon.
He looked round a number of depots of the potato storehouse together with the accompanying officials.
Every depot was filled with potatoes piled up high enough to reach the ceiling.

Looking at the piles of potatoes with an air of satisfaction, Kim Jong Un said: It's really wonderful. This can be called a mountain of potatoes.
This reality is unthinkable apart from his leadership.
Whenever he visited the factory, Kim Jong Un took all measures to build up the city of Samjiyon into a model unit of potato farming and a standard unit that perfectly realized the comprehensive mechanization of agriculture and scrupulously led it to put the potato farming on a scientific footing.
Thanks to his devoted efforts, the factory could reap a bumper harvest of potatoes despite the unfavourable natural climate.

That day, Kim Jong Un said such high mountain of potatoes cannot be compared with the beautiful scenery of Mt. Kumgang.
As he was so concerned about the improvement of the people's diet, he was so pleased to see the high mountain of potatoes, likening it to the beautiful scenery of Mt. Kumgang known as a superb view.

That day, he proposed having a picture taken against a pile of potatoes and sat on it without ceremony.
The picture showed what his greatest pleasure and pride are.
