This study addresses the threat of a famine in North Korea. It triangulates quantity and price evidence with direct observation to assess the causes for the country's food insecurity. The authors question widely-cited UN figures and present their own data on grain quantities and prices. They conclude that for the first time since the 1990s famine, the aggregate grain balance has gone into deficit.
