    "FAO establishes and publishes specifications* for technical material and related formulations of agricultural pesticides, with the objective that these specifications may be used to provide an international point of reference against which products can be judged either for regulatory purposes or in commercial dealings. From 1999 onward, the development of FAO specifications follows the New Procedure, described first in the 5th edition of the ""Manual on the development and use of FAO specifications for plant protection products"" and later in the 1st edition of “Manual for Development and Use of FAO and WHO Specifications for Pesticides” (2002) - currently available as 3rd revision of the 1st edition (2016), which is available only on the internet through the FAO and WHO web sites. This document is the information on Old Specification of AZINPHOS-ETHYLE"

    FAO/WFP Crop and Food Security Assessment Mission to DPR Korea, 25 November 2011 2011

    1. In DPRK, a total of just under 5.5 million tonnes of staple food production from cooperative farms, individual plots on sloping land and household gardens for 2011/12 is expected, including estimates for the 2011 main season harvest and forecast for the 2012 early season crops. This is about 8.5 percent higher than the revised near normal production in 2010/11 reflecting higher plantings and yields. When paddy is converted to milled rice and soybeans to cereal equivalent, the above total prod uction comes to 4.66 million tonnes. 2. The increase in production was mainly due to the increased availability of fertiliser (up about 50 percent compared to last year), diesel and electricity in spite of the adverse weather. The July-August floods affected paddy crop and the subsequent typhoons particularly impacted the maize crop mainly in North and South Hwanghae, two of the important grain producing provinces. 3. Soybean production this year increased to 254 000 tonnes (294 000 t onnes in cereal equivalent) or about 60 percent higher than the low level of last year. However, given the overall inadequacy of pulses, efforts should continue to increase the protein content of the diet. 4. This year’s poor harvest of early crops has resulted in the shortage of wheat, barley and potato seed for the 2012 winter and spring crops...
