Nowon-gu Supplies Eco-friendly Agricultural Product Packages to 895 Pregnant Women

Choose from Selective, Completion, or Program Types at Designated Online Mall, Delivered to Your Home... Apply from 10 AM on the 6th at Seoul Farmer Portal

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Nowon-gu (District Mayor Oh Seung-rok) will provide eco-friendly agricultural product packages worth up to 480,000 KRW to 895 pregnant women.

The package support project is a pilot project by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. This year, it is promoted with national and city funds, and in 2021, about 400 million KRW was invested from national, city, and district funds.

The target group includes mothers who gave birth after January 1, 2020, and currently pregnant women. Those who gave birth in 2019 but whose birth registration date is after January 1 of this year can also apply. However, applicants who are beneficiaries of similar projects such as the Nutrition Plus program as of the application date are restricted from applying.

The packages are provided in two installments. First, packages worth about 240,000 KRW, usable until the end of the year, are supplied, and an additional 240,000 KRW will be provided next year, supporting up to 480,000 KRW over 12 months.

The personal contribution is 96,000 KRW. Purchases can be made at designated online shopping malls from a minimum of 30,000 KRW to a maximum of 60,000 KRW, up to twice a month. By paying 20% of the order amount, the products will be delivered to the desired location.

Applications for the packages can be submitted from the 6th via the ‘Online Application’ section on the Seoul Farmer Portal website by submitting supporting documents such as a resident registration certificate, pregnancy confirmation issued by a medical institution, a copy of the maternal handbook, and a birth certificate.

Applications are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, and once confirmed as a Nowon-gu support recipient, purchases can be made at the designated online mall. There are three types of agricultural product packages: a selective type where pregnant women can choose needed items, a completed type composed according to price range and items, and a program type where packages can be regularly delivered for 3 to 12 months.

For more details, please contact the district office website or the Urban Agriculture Team.

District Mayor Oh Seung-rok said, “This project provides fresh and safe food to pregnant women who feel uncomfortable visiting crowded places such as marts, and offers stable sales channels to farmers facing difficulties. We will strive to maintain quality so that consumption of eco-friendly agricultural products can continue.”
