Since the 1990s, North Korea has experienced a significant food shortage due to a combination of natural disasters, economic mismanagement, and international sanctions. This has led to widespread malnutrition and an increase in starvation-related deaths. In recent years, the North Korean government has been working to improve the country’s food security situation, with some success. However, it is estimated that over a third of the population still does not have enough to eat.<\/p>\n

No, North Korea cannot feed itself. The country is plagued by chronic food shortages and relies heavily on food aid from other countries.<\/p>\n

Why does North Korea have no food? <\/h2>\n

North Korea’s food insecurity is the product of decades of economic mismanagement and the internal and external policies of the incumbent political regime. Throughout its history, North Korea has pursued the goal of national food security through an economically irrational policy of self-sufficiency. This policy has led to widespread malnutrition and hunger, as well as to the collapse of the country’s economy. The current political regime in North Korea is responsible for the country’s food insecurity, and it is incumbent upon them to take steps to improve the situation.<\/p>\n

It is heartening to see that North Koreans are no longer reliant on the state for food. The fact that the country’s major source of food now is the 300 farmers’ markets that sprung up across the country in the wake of the famine is a testament to the resilience of the North Korean people. We can only hope that the country continues to make progress in providing for its people.<\/p>\n

What can North Korean citizens not do <\/h3>\n
