North Korea recorded its worst harvest for more than a decade last year, UN says
A file photo taken on June 2, 2017 shows people planting rice in a field on the outskirts of the North Korean city of Kaesong.
But last year's harvest was just 4.95 million tonnes, the United Nations said in its Needs and Priorities assessment for 2019, down by 500,000 tonnes. Several agencies had been forced to scale back their programmes and some faced closing projects, he said, appealing to donors to "not let political considerations get in the way of addressing humanitarian need".
The Center for Strategic and International Studies said — based on its analysis of satellite imagery — activity is "evident" at a North Korean long-range rocket test site, suggesting Pyongyang may be pursuing its "rapid rebuilding" after the failed summit. It is also a rugged, largely mountainous, country with only around 20 percent of its land area suitable for cultivation.
