High-resolution satellite imagery reveals that North Korea's Sinuiju greenhouse farm, completed in February 2026, spans at least 800 hectares, significantly larger than the 450 hectares claimed by state media. The Wihwa Island portion alone contains 515 hectares of greenhouses, surpassing the official total. Satellite data also indicates that the farm primarily relies on the national grid for electricity, rather than generating its own power through solar panels and geothermal systems, as officially stated. The discrepancy in reported farm size calls for further verification.
