Gyeongbuk Uljin-gun Extends 'Half-Price Rental Fee' for Agricultural Machinery Until Year-End

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Uljin-gun, Gyeongbuk announced on the 1st that it will extend the operation of the 'Rental Agricultural Machinery Rental Fee Reduction Project,' which was temporarily operated until the end of July for local farmers struggling due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), until the end of the year.

The agricultural machinery rental fee reduction project was implemented to assist farmers who are having difficulties with timely farming due to labor shortages caused by inter-regional movement restrictions and restrictions on the entry of foreign workers.

Rental agricultural machinery is available to all residents of Uljin-gun. Farmers who wish to use the service can apply for the required machinery three days in advance. The Uljin-gun Agricultural Machinery Rental Centers (4 locations) rent out all models (950 units) at a 50% reduced rental fee for up to 3 days per model.

Jeon Eun-woo, Director of the Agricultural Technology Center, said, "During the first half of the year, there were many difficulties for staff due to the surge in rentals and deliveries during the rental fee reduction period," and added, "We will do our best to ensure that timely farming proceeds smoothly through manpower supplementation and operational improvements."
