N. Korea's food imports from China more than triple in January: expert
SEOUL, March 12 (Yonhap) -- North Korea's food imports from China more than tripled in January from a year earlier, an indication the impoverished nation is bracing for serious food shortages, an agricultural expert said Friday.
North Korea brought in 13,834 tons of grain from the neighboring ally in January, a 3.6-fold increase from 3,869 tons in January last year, said Kwon Tae-jin, a senior researcher on the North's agricultural sector at the South's Korea Rural Economic Institute in a posting on his blog.
