[Sejong=Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyunjung] The National Agricultural Cooperative Federation (NACF) announced on the 28th that it plans to establish and operate dedicated consultation desks for the Public Interest Direct Payment System at over 5,000 agricultural and livestock cooperatives and city/county branches nationwide starting in early May to support the stable settlement of the newly launched Public Interest Direct Payment System.

At the dedicated desks, detailed consultations and promotions will be provided regarding the restructured contents and obligations of the Public Interest Direct Payment System, including the amount of direct payments received, application procedures and methods, to help farmers apply for direct payments more easily and conveniently.

Lee Seonghee, Chairman of the NACF, stated, "The NACF will cooperate with the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the Agricultural Products Quality Management Service to make every effort to ensure the successful establishment of the government's key agricultural policy, the Public Interest Direct Payment System," adding, "We will provide thorough guidance from A to Z through accurate explanations and education for farmers to prevent any disadvantages caused by lack of knowledge."

For farmers curious about the amount of direct payments, the NACF also announced that a banner enabling 'Direct Payment Pre-Calculation' has been posted on the NACF website.
