[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seongdong-gu (Mayor Jung Won-oh) will support 736 pregnant women in the area with an "Eco-friendly Agricultural Products Package" worth 240,000 KRW over six months.

The "Eco-friendly Agricultural Products Package Support" is a project that provides pregnant women in Seongdong-gu with eco-friendly certified agricultural products, some livestock products, and processed foods through an online mall. It aims to support farmers struggling due to the COVID-19 pandemic and promote health by supplying eco-friendly agricultural products to pregnant women.

The program targets pregnant women who gave birth after January 1, 2020, or are currently pregnant as of the application date, residing in Seongdong-gu. Each person can order agricultural products through the online mall twice a month, with orders ranging from 30,000 KRW to 60,000 KRW.

At the time of ordering, 80% of the amount is supported, and the remaining 20% is paid by the applicant. The ordered products are delivered directly to the doorstep by the supplier, following a non-face-to-face principle.

From July 6 to December 15, a total of 736 applicants will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, and applications can be submitted through the Seoul Farmer Portal website.

Applicants must attach pregnancy or childbirth documents such as a resident registration certificate, a pregnancy confirmation issued by an obstetrics and gynecology clinic, or a birth certificate. However, those currently benefiting from the Nutrition Plus program as of the application date cannot receive duplicate support.

Jung Won-oh, Mayor of Seongdong-gu, said, "This project is expected to help farmers struggling due to COVID-19 by expanding the consumption of eco-friendly agricultural products and allow pregnant women, who find it difficult to go out, to safely enjoy fresh eco-friendly agricultural products at home for a healthy life."
