...merits of juche (self-reliance). Donations also give adversaries leverage in political negotiations. Claiming this year's rice harvest is up 10%, North Korea announced last month that it doesn't need humanitarian aid. On Oct. 1, official rice rations for adults doubled to 500 grams a day, the bare minimum for survival, according to the U.N.'s World Food Program (WFP).
