North Korea may soon allow farmers to keep more of their produce, in a move to increase agricultural production. It would be a major reform by the country's young new leader, Kim Jong Un, who has promised to boost North Korea's ailing economy.

News of the possible plan comes from sources close to North Korea's agricultural sector, who spoke with Western news agencies.
