In North Korea, the cultivation of potatoes is important to the livelihood of the country’s people. The crop was introduced into the country in the early 1800s.[1] After the 1990s famine, a potato revolution has taken place. Over ten years, the area of potato cultivation in North Korea has quadrupled to 200,000 ha and per capita consumption has increased from 16 to 60 kilograms (35 to 132 lb) per year.[2]

yes. And just as Kim invented the hamburger(’’double bread sandwich with meat’’) he magically made potatoes appear one day.
