When Korea was partitioned along 38 parallel after second world war , North Korea was mostly mountainous . While South Korea was plain and was fit for cultivation, most of the agricultural production before partition of Korea came from southern portion, after North Korea came into its existence, efforts were done to increase production by clearing forests on mountains and doing cultivation, this helped situation to a small extent, this is major cause of North Korea food crisis .
but before 1990s, north Korea used to be a corps exporting country, they even provided food to support SK after flood disaster, the whole peninsula has the similar topography, except SK has more coastline and warmer climate
@@PateFish-rj9mp North Korea before the 90s had access to the raw materials required to run everything. North Korea used more artificial fertiliser than the South in the 80s for example.

Maybe the north korea should stop attacking south Korea even after the peace treaty. The north Korean tried to assassinate south Korea president three times, built four tunnels to invade south korea, shot down south korean civilian aircraft, fired artillery on korean civilians, attacked south korean naval vessels twice and sent spies to south korea.

American farmers have never experienced their grain taken from them at gunpoint. Nor have they ever been forced to live together with other people. Big difference.
