Miryang-si, Agricultural Food Voucher Pilot Project Application Open

Improving Nutritional Imbalance in Low-Income Vulnerable Groups

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Miryang City, Gyeongnam, has been selected for the '2021 Agricultural and Food Voucher Pilot Project' organized by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, and will accept applications for project participants at the administrative welfare centers in their respective towns, townships, and neighborhoods from the 11th.

The Agricultural and Food Voucher Pilot Project provides support for basic livelihood security recipients and near-poverty groups with a median income below 50%, offering between 40,000 KRW and 126,000 KRW per month depending on the number of household members. The support covers four items (domestic vegetables, fruits, white milk, fresh eggs) through voucher cards or packages for 12 months.

The agricultural and food voucher funds are automatically recharged on the first day of each month and will expire if unused within the month, so they must be used within the corresponding month.

Mayor Park Il-ho said, “The Agricultural and Food Voucher Pilot Project also supports package delivery, providing convenience to transportation-disadvantaged and mobility-impaired individuals,” adding, “It is expected to improve nutritional imbalance among low-income vulnerable groups and contribute to securing farm income by involving local agricultural and livestock farmers in supplying agricultural products.”
