Hwasun-gun Reduces 'Agricultural Machinery Rental Fees' to Revive Local Economy
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Young-gyun] Hwasun-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Gu Chung-gon) announced on the 23rd that it will reduce the rental fees for agricultural machinery from the 23rd until July 31 to revive the local economy, which has been stagnated due to COVID-19.
Rental fees will be 100% waived up to the second rental, and a 50% discount will be applied from the third rental onward.
This rental fee reduction reflects the rural reality facing difficulties such as decreased agricultural product consumption and price drops due to the spread of COVID-19.
The county expects this to ease the burden on farmers who are struggling with timely farming due to labor shortages.
The Agricultural Machinery Rental Office has its main office in Neungju-myeon and a branch office in Dongbok-myeon, renting out 406 units of 67 types of agricultural machinery.
During the farming season from this month until November, operations will continue on holidays including Saturdays and Sundays.
