North Korea’s processing industry has suffered severely in this closely guarded battle against the new crown epidemic.
The DPRK was one of the first countries to take strict management measures after the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, suspending the entry of tourists on 22.01.2020, followed by the closure of the border and the suspension of international flights and passenger transportation, and intensifying the national emergency epidemic prevention work to completely cut off the import route of the epidemic. To prevent the inflow and spread of the new epidemic, the DPRK transformed its health prevention system into a “national emergency health prevention system” and the central emergency prevention headquarters directed the health prevention departments at all levels to carry out rapid epidemic prevention throughout the country, maintaining a stable epidemic prevention situation through medical isolation and health propaganda.
As for the ports, only three ports have been opened for the entry of epidemic prevention supplies and necessities. All goods entering the DPRK require the approval of the Central Emergency Epidemic Prevention Command.
Strict defenses have enabled North Korea to win the war on the epidemic. It has made North Korea one of the few countries in the world with zero infections.
But, the economy was severely affected.
For years, North Korea’s economy has been slowed by international sanctions. The epidemic has added to the economic woes of North Korea.
Take the example of unsanctioned incoming false eyelash processing.
It has been nearly six months since North Korea temporarily closed its ports in January because of the epidemic, and the raw materials for false eyelashes have not been able to enter the country.
The raw materials for false eyelashes, which are not available in the DPRK, all come from China and are not part of the defense materials or necessities of life.
This sudden COVID-19 has caught false eyelash processors off guard.
In China today, the market for false eyelashes has skyrocketed in price, and many of the hot varieties have doubled in price several times and are still in seriously short supply.
Fake eyelashes produced from the only raw materials available in North Korea were snapped up as soon as they arrived in China. At the same time, North Korean false eyelash manufacturers were forced to stop work and production due to the lack of raw materials.
North Korea’s false eyelash processing industry has a long history, with incoming false eyelash processing starting as early as 2005. With the rapid rise of China’s false eyelash processing industry, our local area has become the largest false eyelash production base in China, with false eyelash production accounting for about 70% of China’s total eyelash production and an annual output value of several billion yuan. And 80% of the initial processing of false eyelashes produced by DYJ is done in North Korea.
The local false eyelash companies, after receiving OEM orders from make-up tool brands in Japan, Europe, and the United States, send the required raw materials to North Korea, where they are pre-processed and then shipped back locally for shaping and packaging before being sent to the orderer.
The primary processing of false eyelashes is a niche industry and a labor-intensive one. Careful workers are needed to make semi-finished products of different lengths, roots, curvatures, colors, and styles of false eyelashes from different materials such as artificial fiber hair, animal hair, and real hair, one by one, using tweezers, scissors, and glue every day according to customers’ requirements.
Simply put, false eyelashes are made from a series of processes using special chemical fibers as the raw material, and are mainly used for eye makeup, eye beautification, and eye finishing. It is currently a very popular recurring consumer (beauty) product worldwide. It was first popular in Korea, then in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Europe, and Asia. False eyelashes are a must-have consumable product for makeup and occupy a pivotal position among makeup auxiliary products.
The global economy has been hampered by COVID-19, however, the epidemic cannot stop beauty-loving ladies from pursuing beauty.
Recently, we have been commissioned by a number of false eyelash bases in North Korea to release the existing stock of false eyelash products in North Korea for the needs of domestic false eyelash enterprises. At the same time, many false eyelash bases in North Korea, hope that after the epidemic is over, they can cooperate with Chinese false eyelash enterprises that have the strength and orders for long-term incoming processing order-based cooperation. Companies that are interested in cooperating directly with North Korean false eyelash bases, please contact DYJ and we will match suitable North Korean false eyelash processing enterprises for cooperation according to your order requirements. The DPRK government department can act as a guarantor to guarantee the quality and delivery time required by the order.
