Voice of America reported on Tuesday that the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations estimates in its November Food Outlook report that North Korea’s crop yield this year will increase.

The report expects that despite flooding in the North, its farms are better equipped with farming equipment, which should increase the crop yield slightly.

Prior to that, the FAO said early in October in its report titled “Crop Prospects and Food Situation” that North Korea’s crop harvest after milling will increase by four-point-eight percent from the four-point-two million tons last year to four-point-four-million tons this year.

The FAO, along with the World Food Program, conducted a survey on North Korea’s crop yield and food security. The FAO is expected to announce a specific estimate of the North’s crop yield in mid-November.
