Goheung-gun Launches Comprehensive Maintenance of Farmland Records

Contributing to Establishing Order in Farmland Ownership and Leasing and Preventing Fraudulent Receipt of Public Direct Payments

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Goheung-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 25th that it will promote a comprehensive reorganization of farmland registers by the end of 2021.

As of June 2020, the number of farmland register registrations in Goheung-gun is 19,345 cases (individuals: 19,225 cases, corporations: 120 cases), and the number of registered farmland parcels reaches 127,653 parcels.

Among these, the target for farmland register updating and reorganization includes 17,235 parcels from 3,720 farming households aged 80 or older within the jurisdiction and 12,579 parcels from 4,643 farming households residing outside the jurisdiction. The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and local governments will jointly carry out the reorganization starting with farmland registers expected to have high demand, aiming to complete the comprehensive reorganization by 2021.

The farmland register reorganization procedure will be promoted by comparing and analyzing farmland registers with land registers, agricultural management entity registration information, and other policy databases, as well as conducting on-site inspections.

Additionally, the plan is to focus on updating ownership and lease information of farmland, and if there are signs of illegal leases during the reorganization process, the farmland use status survey (September to November) will include these cases as necessary.

A county official stated, “Through this farmland register reorganization, we expect to update the records of official registers, establish order in farmland ownership and leasing linked with farmland use status, and contribute to preventing fraudulent receipt of public direct payments.”
