Selected applicants receive development funds up to 300 million KRW with a loan interest rate of 2% per annum, which can be used for purchasing farmland and leasing facilities.

Additionally, young start-up farmers are targeted at farmers aged 18 or older and under 40, with less than 3 years of farming experience, and they receive a differentiated monthly farming settlement support fund of up to 1 million KRW depending on the period of independent farming.
