North Korea has faced economic and food shortage crises in recent years, coupled with the new crown pneumonia that has closed its borders, and has had to find more ways to be self-sufficient. The official media recently announced that the authorities will open a breeding center to raise black swan on an industrial scale, saying it is a precious food source and also an extremely healthy food, emphasizing that “black swan meat is both delicious and medically valuable.” According to Seoul’s “NK News” (NK News), North Korea began researching the cultivation of ornamental birds as food in early 2019, and required schools, factories and companies to grow food crops, raise fish and other animals in order to increase food self-sufficiency. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un recently declared the food shortage situation “urgent” and apologized to the people for the sacrifices they made to prevent the epidemic. But he also said that the economic situation has improved this year. North Korea has not officially notified any confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia. The United Nations said that North Korea has recently begun to allow aid materials to enter, and data from mainland China also shows that bilateral trade has gradually increased. It seems that North Korea is not only facing a shortage of food. According to media reports, there is a serious shortage of special paper and ink needed for printing money, and it is forced to print special tokens as an emergency response.
