Nowon-gu Supports 1,353 Pregnant Women with Eco-Friendly Agricultural Product Packages

Providing Eco-Friendly Agricultural Product Packages Worth 410,000 KRW Annually to 1,353 Pregnant Women... First-Come, First-Served Registration Starts at 10 AM on the 25th... Up to 16 Safe and Healthy Food Deliveries Over One Year

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Nowon-gu (District Mayor Oh Seung-rok) will support 1,353 pregnant women in the area with eco-friendly agricultural product packages worth 410,000 KRW annually.

This project aims to provide fresh and safe food to pregnant women and secure stable sales channels for farmers who are experiencing difficulties due to decreased consumption.

The support targets women who are currently pregnant or have given birth since January 1, 2020. However, pregnant women receiving support from the Nutrition Plus program are excluded.

Selected recipients can receive eco-friendly agricultural product packages worth 410,000 KRW annually, of which 82,000 KRW must be paid by the recipient.

The packages can be purchased up to 100,000 KRW per session, four times a month (16 times a year).

The items include organic livestock products, pesticide-free agricultural products, and organic processed foods. Recipients can choose between a customizable package where they select needed items themselves and a pre-assembled package organized by price and item type.

Recipients are recruited on a first-come, first-served basis.

Those wishing to apply can do so from 10 a.m. on the 25th through the ‘Pregnant Women Eco-friendly Agricultural Products Shopping Mall.’ Existing holders of the pregnancy voucher card do not need to submit additional documents when applying online.

If online application is difficult, paper applications can be submitted through the Leisure and Urban Affairs Division of the district office. For in-person submissions, applicants must bring the application form, resident registration certificate, and pregnancy or childbirth verification documents (pregnancy confirmation, maternal handbook, birth certificate, childbirth confirmation, etc.).

Selection will be individually notified after verifying eligibility, including overlap with the Nutrition Plus program.

Once selected, support will continue even if the resident registration or actual residence changes during the support period, and support will also be provided if pregnancy or childbirth status is interrupted due to miscarriage or other reasons.

For more details, refer to the district website or contact the Nowon-gu Leisure and Urban Affairs Division.

District Mayor Oh Seung-rok said, “We hope this project, which supplies safe and nutritious eco-friendly agricultural products, will help improve the health of pregnant women and support farmers facing difficulties.”
