North Korea’s imports of Chinese grain fell 8.4% on-year in the first half of 2013 mainly due to a better harvest last fall, a report said Monday. The report by the Korea Rural Economic Institute (KREI) carried by South Korean News Agency (Yonhap) showed Pyongyang’s imports of flour, rice, corn and other grain products reaching 124,228 tons in the January-June period, compared with 135,648 tons a year earlier.
