Hwasun-gun Opens Applications for 'Farmer and Fisherman Public Interest Allowance' Starting from the 20th

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Young-gyun] Hwasun-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Gu Chung-gon) announced on the 16th that it will accept applications for the farmers and fishermen public interest allowance from the 20th of this month until the 21st of next month.

Applications can be submitted at the eup/myeon administrative welfare center of the applicant's address via the village head.

The support target is farmers and fishermen whose comprehensive income other than farming and fishing is less than 37 million KRW and who have registered as agricultural and fishery management entities with the county since before December 31, 2018.

However, cases where applicants have moved from other regions of Jeollanam-do as of the application date are also recognized.

The payment amount is 600,000 KRW per year, and it is planned to be paid in two installments of 300,000 KRW each in May and October in the form of Hwasun Love Gift Certificates.

The county expects that by paying the farmers and fishermen public interest allowance with local currency (Hwasun Love Gift Certificates), it will prevent capital outflow from the region and contribute to revitalizing the local economy by boosting the income of self-employed and small business owners through the activation of neighborhood commercial districts.

A county official said, “The farmers and fishermen public interest allowance is a system that socially compensates the public value of agriculture, fisheries, and rural areas, playing a role in promoting sustainable rural development. We hope that all farmers and fishermen will apply without omission within the application deadline.”
