Are the June 28 Measures bearing fruit? { The daily rations, from January through May, were maintained at 400 grams per person, before they were decreased to 390 grams in June and July, bringing the average to 397 grams, according to the Washington-based radio station. The total represents a 14-gram increase from an average of 383 grams tallied in the same seven-month period last year. In the communist country, 66 percent of the total population, or about 16 million people, receive state food rations. ... Regarding the increased food rations, North Korea watchers in Seoul have said a relatively good harvest in the North in 2012 and its greater emphasis on increasing farm output may be bearing fruit. } english.yonhapnews.co.kr/northkorea/2013/08/07/77/0401000000AEN20130807002900315F.html
