Gwangyang-si, 2020 Agricultural Support Book Comprehensive Maintenance 추진

Updating Farmland Information and Eradicating Damage Caused by Illegal Farmland Leasing

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Gwangyang City announced on the 24th that it will promote a comprehensive cleanup of farm registers with discrepancies between the actual farmland status and the land ledger by December 31 for the efficient use and management of farmland.

The targets for cleanup include farm register data such as ownership transfer processing, lease period expiration, death of the head of the farming household, duplicate registration, and under-cultivation, as well as farmland survey data such as actual land category and main cultivated crops.

Currently, farm registers face limitations in updating due to difficulties in confirming lease relationships between individuals, and there are many challenges in managing farmland information.

To address these issues, this year, through the farmland information management system improvement project promoted by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, personnel will be secured to organize farmland ownership and lease relationships by parcel, focusing especially on farm registers of out-of-area farmland owners and elderly farmers aged 80 or older within the region.

Through the comprehensive cleanup of farm registers, the city plans to induce the use of the 'Farmland Bank Lease and Entrustment System' to eradicate illegal farmland lease contracts under the 「Farmland Act」.

Lee Sam-sik, Director of Agricultural Support Division, said, “By realizing farmland information such as farm registers and farmland surveys, we will enhance administrative reliability in handling farmland-related civil complaints and improve the damages caused by illegal farmland leases.”
