SEOUL – The distribution of Choco Pie snacks to North Korean workers at the Kaesong Industrial Complex is to be limited due to new regulations, cutting a source of income for some workers who profit by reselling them.
Due to financial difficulties at Kaesong caused by the complex’s five-month halt in operations, a tight new budget will restrict the number of snacks workers can receive, the Kaesong Industrial Complex Company Association said.
