Bizarre! North Korea asks people to ‘eat less’ till 2025 amid food shortage

The food crisis has resulted from a shutdown of North Korea’s border with China, typhoons and floods last summer that destroyed crops. 

New Delhi: North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has reportedly asked people to consume less amid food crisis that is expected to last till 2025. 

Kim blamed a ''series of deviations'' for the shortage of food supplies and said, ''The people's food situation is now getting tense as the agricultural sector failed to fulfill its grain production plan.''

In June this year, Kim had urged officials to find ways to boost agricultural production, saying the country's food situation "is now getting tense", as per PTI report.
