Presentation of Pukchang fish farm (Democratic People Republic of Korea) in the context of a joint partnership project funded by EU.

The main objective of this paper is to present a project initiated in 2018 by two universities and a NGO with the support of EU in Democratic People Republic of Korea. The partnership intends to durably improve the animal protein intake’s availability and the dietary quality for children at social institutions’ level in South Pyongan province. The authors present the main characteristic of Pukchang farm and the organisation of the fish distribution in the county. The experimental farm of Pukchang has been designated as reference fish farm. The maximum production level was reached in 1998 and 1999 with trout production estimated at around 50 tons at the time. This record level was observed when the farm was supplied with high quantities and quality of fishmeal, which is no longer the case today. Now, the primary constraint to increasing production is directly related to lack of feed.
