Due to advance technological up gradation population pressure is also high in this country.
Japan is the second largest economy in the world. Its GDP is $4.5 trillon. It is the second largest economy of the world. Almost all necessary food items imported from other neighbor countries to Japan and all electronic products and industrialized items exported from here to other countries.
In simple terms the south could not just survive on agriculture.
They had to rely on the North or other foreign countries to supply them with other necessities.
The North was what boosted the South's economy and the North was also more organized/unified.

Hopefully this helped some and good luck.
