North Korea: The Kangso Cement Factory has reportedly increased the rate of extraction from its quarry following an earlier kiln capacity upgrade, according to the Korean Central News Agency, which speaks for the Workers’ Party of Korea and the country’s national government.
It says that officials and workers have fulfilled production plans by ‘ensuring proper cooperation between shifts and between production lines’ and operating equipment at full capacity. It said that the workers and technicians of the calcining work-team are improving the quality of products and that workers responsible for cement production are producing more cement than planned every day by ‘checking, repairing and maintaining equipment with foresight.’
