Abstract

North Korea has suffered widespread food shortages since mid 1990s. North Korea has implemented various agricultural policies to increase it food production through double-cropping, potato production, small animal raising, fish farming etc. Recently its food production has been continuously increased, however international aid is necessary to meet minimum nutritional standard. Even if international food aid is not a long-term solution to North Korean food crisis, it is a viable solution in the short-term. The ultimate resolution to its food problem is to revitalization of its general economy including agriculture. It is necessary for North Korea to normalize the relationship with the international financial institutions and the international community in order to bring in foreign investment, which will fund expansion of its economic infrastructure. Especially inter-Korean cooperation is very important for its economic development and improved foreign relationship.
