North Korea may lose crops

North Korea could lose about 700,000 tons of its annual harvest because of a severe drought this spring and early summer, according to a South Korean report published Tuesday.

Due to the drought in May and June, the summer harvest of wheat, barley and potatoes fell by about 200,000 tons, the state-run Korea Rural Economic Institute said.

The North may lose about 400,000 tons from the autumn harvest of beans, maize and rice, while another 100,000 tons of non-grain products is also expected to be lost, it said.
