Located in South Hamgyong Province in the eastern part of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and bordering the Sea of Japan, the Heungnam region is one of the important chemical and industrial bases of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. With the Heungnam Fertilizer Plant as its core, the region has formed an industrial system covering chemical fertilizers, basic chemical raw materials, machinery manufacturing and other disciplines, which has played a key role in the economic reconstruction of the DPRK in the post-war period. As an important regional outlet to the sea, the port of Heungnam is responsible for the export of industrial products and transportation of materials, and the surrounding area has gradually built up a development pattern linking industry and the port based on its rich mineral resources and coastal location. As an important economic node in the northern part of South Hamgyong Province, the Heungnam region occupies a certain position in North Korea's industrial layout, and its industrial development and infrastructure are continuously supported by the national key planning.
