Damyang-gun Promotes Comprehensive Maintenance of Agricultural Support Records

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yuk-bong] Damyang-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Choi Hyung-sik) announced on the 18th that it will promote a comprehensive cleanup of the Nongjiwonbu, an agricultural land administration record that records and manages farmland ownership and cultivation status of farmers and agricultural corporations until the end of 2021.

The Nongjiwonbu is a document created to efficiently manage farmland and implement agricultural policies. It identifies the ownership and usage status of farmland and is created and managed by the local township or town office where the farmer's address is located to ensure efficient use and management of farmland.

This comprehensive cleanup of the Nongjiwonbu aims to update farmland ownership changes, lease expiration, duplicate Nongjiwonbu entries, and under-cultivators by comparing the Nongjiwonbu with land registers and agricultural management entity registration information. This year, priority will be given to cleaning up 2,428 Nongjiwonbu records owned by out-of-area residents and elderly farmers (aged 80 and above).

In particular, ownership and lease information of farmland will be thoroughly inspected. If the information is unclear or inconsistent with the management entity registration information of the subject during the cleanup process, the cases will be included in the farmland usage survey scheduled to be conducted from September to November.

Additionally, to ensure reliable cleanup of the Nongjiwonbu, a new budget for improving the farmland information management system has been secured, and since March, assistant workers have been hired to promote a more systematic cleanup.

A county official stated, “Through the comprehensive cleanup of the Nongjiwonbu, which is the basic data for farmland administration, we will update the official records to current standards, prevent fraudulent receipt of public direct payments, and strive to establish order in farmland ownership and leasing.”
