[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Choi Hyun-joo] Haman-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 16th that it held a ‘Youth Startup Farmer Communication Meeting’ at the Agricultural Technology Center, attended by about 30 people including the Haman-gun governor and officials related to youth startup farmers.

The meeting was held on the 15th, providing an explanation of major youth agricultural policies, followed by a valuable time of listening to the diverse thoughts and early farming difficulties of youth startup farmers, empathizing and communicating together.

The Youth Startup Farmer Farming Settlement Support Project provides farming settlement subsidies to youth startup farmers with unstable income in the early stages of farming: 1 million KRW per month in the first year of independent management, 900,000 KRW per month in the second year, and 800,000 KRW per month in the third year. It also supports technical and management education and consulting, startup fund support, and linkage with the Farmland Bank.

Haman-gun has selected and supported a total of 38 people: 8 in 2018, 19 last year, and 11 this year.

Jo Geun-je, Haman-gun governor, said, "I hope youth startup farmers overcome the difficulties of early farming settlement well and settle stably in rural areas. We will spare no support so that excellent youth who will lead the future of agriculture and rural areas can enter the agricultural field and grow into leading farmers."
