Uljin-gun Opens Applications for Farmers' 'Public Interest Direct Payments'... Payments to be Made by Year-End After Review

From April 1 to the end of May

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongwook Park] Uljin-gun, Gyeongbuk Province (Governor Jeon Chang-geol) announced on the 25th that it will accept applications for the 2021 Basic Public Interest Direct Payment from April 1 to May 31.

Farmers who wish to apply for this year's basic direct payment should fill out the application form and submit it to the office of the location of their farmland (if farmland is located in multiple eup, myeon, or dong, submit to the office of the location with the largest farmland area).

The basic direct payment consists of the small-scale direct payment and the area direct payment. To apply for the small-scale direct payment, which is paid per farm unit, applicants must prepare a resident registration certificate and a family relation certificate to verify the farm household members' information.

Only farmland that is actually cultivated can be applied for, and fallow land where crops cannot be grown must be excluded. If the farmland is leased, a lease contract must be prepared.

Uljin-gun plans to finalize the payment amount after a qualification verification and compliance inspection period from July to September, and then pay the basic direct payment at the end of the year.

Lee Jin-guk, Director of the Future Agriculture Policy Division, urged, "To prevent COVID-19, please be sure to wear a mask when visiting eup, myeon, or dong offices, prepare the necessary documents in advance for receiving the direct payment, and make sure to apply within the period."
