Dear All,
There is increasing demand for 'organic' food
here in UK - that is to say food grown without
the use of chemical fertilisers or chemical sprays
such as insecticide etc. and grown using ordinary
compost materials.
Fresh Vegetables
Fresh Fruit
Fresh Meat
Frozen Vegetables
Frozen Meat and Fish
Dried Fruit
Also sugar, butter, milk, grains, nuts.
Additionally cooked foodstuffs such as:
biscuits, breakfast cereals, chocolate etc etc
There is also a tiny but growing demand too
for other types of organically grown material
such as wool and cotton - one local company
has started to import wool and cotton ready
for spinning and knitting.
It is easy to see how over the course of time
given the favourable stardards of health and safety
set on organic materials and products for
workers both in the field and in the factory
that this may be extended to include organic
paper and even organic plastic or fuel oil -
which as I understand it can be extracted from
the cellulose in plant material.
China has already placed the production
of organic foodstuffs on a national footing
- please see:
http://www.billkath.demon.co.uk/cw/zha/zha.html
and Cuba has announced an 'all organic' programme
to be completed by 2005.

| Kochujang
|
| Pyongyang, June 22 (KCNA) -- "I crave some Kochujang," write Koreans on
| overseas trip to their families. Kochujang, a paste made from red hot
| pepper, is no less than Kimchi (pickled vegetables), a native typical
| Korean staple food. With its hot taste and peculiar flavour and smell, the
| red-coloured kochujang follows Koreans at home or others living abroad.
| When eating fatty dishes, Koreans crave hot and delicious dishes. Kimchi
| and Kochujang are typically hot and appetizing. Kochujang is too hot to be
| eaten by a spoonful at a time and therefore it is eaten sparingly. It is
| eaten as a seasoning. Its outstanding taste is brought out when it is
eaten
| with sliced raw fish, or lettuce and boiled rice. It also serves as a
major
| component of soup. Without any other seasoning, Kochujang can be eaten,
| mixed with boiled hot barley or rice. Kochujang with boiled hot barley can
| conjure up the Korean pastoral life in the mind of the eaters. this habit
| of eating Kochujang is enjoyed in the country. This is usually done in the
| season when the barley has just been harvested and the farmers are again
| busy raising rice. When Kochujang is eaten under a cloudless sky with
| lettuce and rice, it is especially pleasant to the taste. To add its own
| flavour and to make it last longer without spoiling, Kochujang is boiled
| with sugar, sesame oil, and sesame seeds. sometimes ground beef can be
| added. There are re-processed Kochujang, such as sesame Kochujang, meat
| Kochujang, flavour Kochujang, oil Kochujang and yak-Kochujang. At present,
| Kochujang is massproduced by food processors. But some Korean housewives
| prefer to making Kochujang themselves, instead of ready-made one.
According
| to local areas, each housewife uses a slightly different recipe for making
| Kochujang, thereby she is able to show off her individual culinary
talents.

| Korean pheasant
|
| Pyongyang, June 22 (KCNA) -- In the DPRK, pheasants enjoy massive
| propagation, resulting in a jump in their stock in recent years. They are
| found in all parts of the country down from the Mt. Paektu area on the
| northern extremity. About 40 varieties of pheasants occur worldwide. A
| Korean pheasant has a long neck and tail. In many countries, the
| propagation of pheasants is anchored on the Korean pheasant as a pure
| breed, for it is known for its big body, good taste of its flesh, its
| fecundity and viability. Its flesh is ideal for a tonic and efficacious
| against stomach, gall and roundworm troubles. Its beautiful feathers are
| used for ornamentals. With a world conference on birds slated for 2002,
the
| DPRK natural conservation union is intensifying dissemination of know-how
| on Korean pheasants and their protection and propagation.

|
| Kim Jong Il gives on-the-spot guidance to Nyongbyon and Pakchon silk mills
|
| Pyongyang, June 22 (KCNA) - General Secretary Kim Jong Il gave on-the-spot
| guidance to the Nyongbyon and Pakchon silk mills in north Phyongan
province
| on June 21. He was accompanied by chief secretary Kim Phyong Hae of the
| North Phyongan Provincial Committee of the WPK, secretary Kim Kuk Thae of
| the WPK Central Committee and first vice department directors of the WPK
| Central Committee. He went to the Nyongbyon Silk Mill. After looking round
| the board bearing on-the-spot teachings of the great leader President Kim
| Il Sung and the monument to his on-the-spot guidance to the mill, he went
| to weaving shops and other places to learn in detail about the production
| and give a pep-talk to the workers in the efforts for increased
production.
| He highly praised the workers and technicians of the Nyongbyon Silk Mill
| for their great achievements, saying that they turned out a large quantity
| of high-quality silk, including figured satin, brocade and satin with
| patterns, greatly contributing to the settlement of the question of
| clothing for the people. He said the mill should drastically increase the
| production of silk liked by the Korean people to provide girls and boys
who
| are going to get married and old men and women who are to celebrate their
| sixtieth and seventieth birthdays with silk clothes and silk quilts. He
| went to the Pakchon Silk Mill. He learned about the management and
| production of the mill in detail, looking round production processes where
| a wide variety of silk of beautiful colors, velvet cloth and thick warm
| blankets are turned out in rolls. He was much pleased to see the workers
of
| the mill keeping it tidy and clean in terms of sanitation and cultural
| practice and highly praised them for their feats. At the end of his
| inspection to the two mills he set forth tasks that would serve as
| guidelines for remarkably increasing the production of silk. He said the
| WPK has solved all the problems with main emphasis on the improvement of
| the standard of people's living, adding that to settle the issue of
| clothing is one of the two major tasks, which is no less important than
| solving the food problem. It is the fixed resolution and will of the
party,
| he noted, to provide better clothes to the people. He highlighted the need
| to direct big efforts to the production of silk and bring about a new turn
| in the settlement of the issue of clothing. He said for remarkable
increase
| in the production of silk it is necessary to realise comprehensive
| mechanisation and automation of production processes and for the producers
| to have high technique and skill to do so. In order to supply silk with
| beautiful and attractive patterns to the people it is necessary to
| significantly improve the quality of silk, the speciality of Korea, he
| stressed. Underscoring the importance of supplying a sufficient quantity
of
| silk yarn and other raw materials in time, he called on all the provinces,
| cities and counties to extensively raise silkworms. He earnestly appealed
| to the officials, workers and technicians in the field of light industry
to
| boost the production of silk of better quality by displaying creative
| ingenuity and patriotic devotion and thus enable the best korean people to
| live as happily as others.
