Reports suggest that North Korean farmers will soon be allowed to keep and sell some of their produce as the Stalinist state embarks upon minor reforms. Currently farmers must give most of what they produce to the state, but the reported reforms will see them keep between 30-50 percent of their harvest to sell. Experts say the move, should it go ahead, could be aimed at increasing production, reducing food inflation and tackling malnutrition.
