Kim Jong Un, Chairman of the Workers' Party of Korea, First Chairman of the DPRK National Defence Commission and Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army, inspected the Kwisong Salt Works to check the production of salt by means of underground protosalt water.
Last year the People's Army set up a process of producing salt by using underground protosalt water at the Kwisong Salt Works and put it into operation. Notably, it has registered a miraculous 7 000-odd-ton output in over 150 hectares of salt pans since early March to date.
The supreme leader said he came in such a hurry after being told that the People's Army adopted a new salt production method to make a great deal of salt in smaller areas of slatterns, adding that it has set the stage for fully satisfying the growing economic demands for salt.
He compared the new production method to the previous one relying on seawater to learn more about the economic effectiveness of the new method.
The production by underground protosalt water helps cut both salt fields and production cycle drastically and reduce the cost, and it also makes it possible to more than double the output per hectare, he said.
As the salt made from the underground protosalt water contains less brine than that from the seawater, he noted, it tastes little bitter and it is also helpful in promoting the people's health and producing foods, cosmetics and other daily necessities because it is rich in potassium and iodine but contains less heavy metals.
