Foreign Trade of the DPRK is a North Koreanmagazine. It covers North Korean companies that are looking to export their products[5] and introduces their contact details.[6] The magazine is affiliated with the North Korean Committee for the Promotion of International Trade. It is published quarterly[7] by the Foreign Trade Publishing House of North Korea.[6] The magazine is published in English, Chinese, French, Japanese, Russian and Spanish.[8]
A 2011 South Korean analysis of the magazine's issues from a period of five years concluded that there are about 200 North Korean export companies in operation attempting to earn foreign currency. In reality, however, the number could be smaller since North Korean companies regularly change names in order to avoid sanctions.[9]
Some companies offer to produce goods according to buyers' specifications.[10] The magazine is known for promoting sometimes unusual products.[5] For instance, in 2013, the magazine advertised unauthorized Sesame StreetBig Bird, Cookie Monster and Elmo plush animals manufactured by the Kyonghung Trading Corporation.[11] A 2015 issue promoted furs by the Taehung Fur Trading Corporation, despite there being no previous knowledge of North Korea's fur exports. The same issue also promoted a "cure-all" pill with vague descriptions of dosage and uncertain adherence to medicinal standards, likely aimed at the oriental medicine market in Asia.[9][failed verification]
