CRACKPOT North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un has ordered citizens to hand over their poo to government officials.

The tubby tyrant, 35, believes his barmy order will save North Korea's tanking economy by turbocharging the farming sector with cheap manure.

According to RadioFreeAsia, the pariah state's starving population is expected to hand over an unbelievable 100kg of human excrement EVERY DAY.

If they can't, the can supply 300kg of compost instead, the radio station claims.

The demand for manure means some workers have allegedly asked to be paid in POO rather than cash.

A DPRK source said: "The entire population has been mobilized to produce manure as the first major task of the year.

"The authorities in each local region task factories, institutions and citizens groups with assigning production quotas to each individual.

"They are demanding that each person produce 100kg of human feces per day, or about 3 tons per month.

"But how on earth can it be possible for one person to make 3 tons of human feces and deliver it?"

Desperate citizens are reportedly trying to make up the deficit by buying excrement from specialist poo merchants.

Another source added: "The residents of Chongjin City have been fully mobilized to fulfil this task.

"People are angry, criticizing the regime for [deliberately setting quotas so high] to force people to pay cash, then claiming it’s for agricultural production.”

"In winter, there isn’t as much manure and compost.

"Cash payments exceed the value of the manure that actually ends up being delivered, so people are saying the regime is just using the quota as a means to collect more money from the citizens.”
