[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Gwangyang City announced that it is accepting applications for the "Organic Fertilizer Support Project" until the 8th of next month to improve soil fertility and promote sustainable eco-friendly agriculture.

The applicants must be registered agricultural operators and registered farmland, and the supported fertilizers include three types of organic fertilizers (mixed organic fertilizer, mixed organic matter, organic compound fertilizer) and two types of matured organic fertilizers (livestock manure compost, compost).

For farmers applying, when purchasing fertilizer, a fixed amount of support is provided per 20kg bag: 3,700 KRW for organic fertilizers produced within the region, 3,400 KRW for those from outside the region, 1,700 KRW for first-grade matured organic fertilizers produced in Jeonnam, and 1,500 KRW for those produced outside Jeonnam.

Farmers wishing to receive organic fertilizer support must submit an application form to the township, town, or neighborhood office where the farmland is located, detailing the type of fertilizer to be used next year, supply timing, supplier, and requested quantity.

For the convenience of farmers, the application form can be submitted through the village head, crop group leader, or via mail, email, or fax. If the farmland is located in different administrative districts, applications should be submitted to the respective township, town, or neighborhood office responsible for each farmland location.

Lee Sam-sik, Director of Agricultural Support Division, said, "Farmers wishing to apply for the project should verify their agricultural management registration and farmland registration information before applying," and added, "Please maintain your agricultural management registration until the fertilizer supply next year to avoid any disadvantages."
