[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 10th that the Agricultural Technology Center conducted interview evaluations for the Young Successor Farmer Settlement Support Project.

The Young Successor Farmer Settlement Support Project is a program that provides young farmers, whose income is unstable in the early stages of farming, with a monthly settlement allowance of up to 1 million KRW for three years to help them grow into sound business entities.

This year, five people have been allocated to the county, and candidates are selected by combining written evaluation and interview scores through the assessment of external professional evaluators.

From December 28 last year to January 27 this year, a total of 10 applicants applied through the Agricultural and Forestry Business Information System (Agrix). On February 18 last month, written evaluations were conducted to select interview candidates, and the interview evaluations were held on the 10th of this month.

The final selection of candidates is scheduled to be announced at the end of March, and the settlement allowance will be paid starting in April according to the commencement of independent farming.

To ensure stable farming settlement, the county plans to promote growth into sound business entities by providing technical and management education and consulting, linking the rental of farmland purchased and reserved by the Farmland Bank, and farmland sales support.

A county official said, “Through the Young Successor Farmer Settlement Support Project, we will do our best to help young farmers who face difficulties in the early stages of farming grow into talents who will lead the future of Hamyang agriculture through systematic support.”
