Changwon City Collects On-site Opinions on the 'Farmer Salary System'

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Son Tae-seok] Changwon City Agricultural Technology Center held a meeting with stakeholders on the 7th regarding the pilot project of the Agricultural Workers' Monthly Salary System, which is being implemented for the first time this year.

The meeting was organized to explain the purpose of the project to agricultural organization leaders and local agricultural cooperative officials, and to collect field opinions to enhance the effectiveness of the project implementation.

The Agricultural Workers' Monthly Salary System is a project designed to help stabilize farmers' income and resolve debts, as farm income is concentrated only during the harvest season. The monthly advance payment per farm varies depending on the agreed amount but is provided in the form of a monthly salary equivalent to 70% of the shipment volume. The city fully covers the interest on the advance payment.

Oh Seong-taek, director of the Agricultural Technology Center, said, “Applications were accepted in February this year, and payments are scheduled to begin in March. We will do our best to promote the project so that it can provide practical help to farms through planned agricultural management.”
