Boseong-gun Conducts Comprehensive Maintenance of Farmland Records... Focus on 15,831 Cases

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Yong-chul] Boseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 22nd that it will conduct a comprehensive overhaul of farmland registers by next year to grasp the actual use of farmland and prevent fraudulent receipt of public interest direct payments.

The county plans to reorganize the farmland registers by comparing and analyzing them with other policy databases such as land registers and agricultural management entity registration information, and update agricultural policy information accordingly.

The primary targets for the overhaul are 2,763 cases in total, including 467 cases of out-of-area cultivators whose registered address differs from the farmland location, and 2,296 cases of farmland owned by elderly farmers aged 80 or older.

If any signs of illegal leasing are found during the overhaul process, the county plans to include the relevant farmland in the farmland usage survey scheduled to be conducted from September to November. Additionally, promotion of farmland lease consignment projects (Farmland Bank) will be carried out simultaneously to ensure legitimate farmland leasing.

A county official stated, “This comprehensive overhaul of farmland registers is expected to contribute to the efficient management of farmland and prevent fraudulent receipt of public interest direct payments by reflecting changes such as farmland leasing and actual cultivation status.”

Meanwhile, farmland registers serve as basic data for agricultural policy formulation and are prepared by farmers (or corporations) cultivating or growing crops or perennial plants on farmland of 1,000㎡ (330㎡ for facilities) or more.
