[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Healthy food that supports both the health of pregnant families and farmers will be provided.
Gangseo-gu, Seoul (District Mayor Noh Hyun-song) announced that it will provide eco-friendly agricultural product packages to pregnant women in the district.
This project was prepared to support the health of pregnant women and newborns and to help farmers whose sales channels have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Eligible applicants are mothers who gave birth after January 1, 2020, or currently pregnant women residing in Gangseo-gu.
A total of 1,952 people will be recruited on a first-come, first-served basis, and agricultural products worth approximately 410,000 KRW will be provided for up to 12 months. However, pregnant women must bear 20% (82,000 KRW) of the support amount.
Pregnant women who wish to apply can do so online from 10 a.m. on the 25th through the eco-friendly agricultural product shopping mall for pregnant women.
If online application is difficult, applicants can visit the district office’s Local Economy Division with the application form, resident registration copy, and supporting documents to apply in person.
Supporting documents include one of the following: pregnancy confirmation certificate, application form for pregnancy and childbirth medical expense support (National Health Insurance Service), birth certificate, resident registration copy with birth report (issued within the last 3 months), or maternity handbook (with hospital name and doctor’s seal).
The package can be applied for up to 4 times a month (16 times a year), with each order ranging from 30,000 KRW to 100,000 KRW. Supported items include fresh agricultural products certified as eco-friendly, some livestock products, and processed foods.
