Gokseong-gun Promotes Agricultural Management Information Update Before Applying for the Public Interest Direct Payment Program

Applications Must Be Submitted by the 17th of Next Month According to the Revised System

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Gokseong-gun announced on the 6th that it will promote the change registration of agricultural management entities for direct payment farms by the 17th of next month in accordance with the implementation of the Public Interest Direct Payment System.

The Public Interest Direct Payment System is a newly restructured direct payment system aimed at strengthening the income safety net for farms and enhancing the public functions of agriculture and rural areas. It is planned to be implemented tentatively from May, and eligibility will be determined based on the registered information of agricultural management entities. Therefore, to apply for the Public Interest Direct Payment System, agricultural management entity information must be changed and registered according to the revised system.

Since it is the early stage of the system implementation, Gokseong-gun and the National Agricultural Products Quality Management Service Gokseong Gurye Office anticipate confusion on site if changes to agricultural management information and direct payment applications are accepted simultaneously. Therefore, they plan to change the reception system from the existing integrated reception (change of agricultural management information + direct payment application) to a system where management information change registration is done first, followed by direct payment application.

Farms can fill out the application form according to the distributed change registration guide and submit it to the village head or submit the application form to the eup/myeon office or the National Agricultural Products Quality Management Service Jeonnam Branch Gokseong Gurye Office according to the notified schedule. In particular, even if there are no changes, the application form must be marked as ‘No Change’ and submitted.

A Gokseong-gun official said, “If the agricultural management entity change registration is not done in advance, it may be difficult to apply for the Public Interest Direct Payment or there may be disadvantages in payment,” and added, “All eligible farms must apply for management entity change registration.”
