[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 18th that it is accepting applications for designation as animal welfare-type green livestock farms to produce and supply safe livestock products.

Eligible applicants are farms raising cattle, pigs, chickens, ducks, and black goats, and must have received at least one of the following certifications: eco-friendly livestock product certification, HACCP certification, or designation as a clean livestock farm.

The evaluation criteria consist of 22 items across four categories: livestock management, environmental conservation, landscape harmony, and record management.

Farms designated as green livestock farms will receive an annual farm operation fund of 3 million KRW and benefits such as additional points during livestock business evaluations.

In Haenam-gun, there are currently 93 eco-friendly livestock product certifications, 59 HACCP certifications, and 35 clean livestock farm designations.

Applications can be submitted monthly to the town and township offices, after which Jeollanam-do will conduct document reviews and on-site farm inspections, and issue designation certificates if the farms meet the criteria.

A Haenam-gun official stated, “By creating animal welfare-type green livestock farms, we are improving breeding environments suitable for livestock ecology and preparing for consumer demand for safe livestock products through hygienic feeding management. We will continue to provide guidance to help many farms receive green livestock farm designation.”
