Supreme
 Commander of the Korean People's Army Kim Jong Un, first secretary of 
the Workers' Party of Korea and first chairman of the National Defence 
Commission of the DPRK, gave field guidance to the Pyongyang Vegetable 
Science Institute and the Pyongyang Floriculture Institute that are 
renewed on expansion basis.
 Accompanying him were Jang Song Thaek, Kim Ki Nam, Ri Jae Il, Ri Ryong Ha, Pak Thae Song, Kim Pyong Ho and Pak Chun Hong.
Kim
 Jong Un was greeted on the spot by leading officials of Kim Il Sung 
University, commanding officers of the KPA and the officials of the 
Pyongyang Horticultural Guidance Bureau, who were there to help increase
 the production capacity at the institutes.
The
 institutes covering well over hundred hectares have turned into modern 
bases for researching vegetable growing and horticulture.
He looked round the Pyongyang Vegetable Science Institute first.
At the central hall he acquainted himself in detail about its construction, scientific research and production.
He
 was greatly satisfied to see that the greenhouses had boosted their 
capacities and production as leader Kim Jong Il taught during his visit 
in March last year.
Kim
 Jong Un told officials to improve management of the greenhouses now 
that their capacities have been increased, make a good use of geothermal
 and solar heat and wind power, lower cost of operation, and gain more 
profit.
Hoping
 that the scientists and employees of the institute will achieve great 
success in their work, he posed for a photograph with them.
Next leg of his guidance was the Pyongyang Floriculture Institute.
After being briefed about the work, he listened to an explanation about the institute's prospect.
He was very glad to learn that they had increased production capacity 20 times, sending more flowers to the flower shops.
He was glad to see over 70 kinds of flowers displayed at its exhibition hall.
He
 said that demand for flowers had been growing fast and that was why, he
 recalled, leader Kim Jong Il saw to it that a floriculture institute 
was to be set up.
He gave instructions to put horticulture on scientific and industrial base to produce more flowers.
Hoping for greater success in their work, he also had a photograph taken with them.
