[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Ulsan City will provide vouchers worth 300,000 KRW per farm to support small-scale farms vulnerable to COVID-19 damage.

The support targets approximately 3,666 farms in Ulsan City that received the small-scale farm direct payment under the public interest direct payment system last year.

Eligible farms can apply from April 5 to 30 by visiting the local agricultural and livestock cooperatives or NongHyup Bank at the location of their cultivated farmland (if multiple plots, the location of the largest plot) in person or online through the NongHyup Card website.

For on-site applications, it is possible on weekdays excluding weekends from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Applicants must bring their ID card, and if a proxy applies, a power of attorney and family relation certificate are required.

The voucher will be provided by charging points to the NongHyup credit or check card already owned by the recipient.

If the applicant does not have a card, they can apply for and receive a check card on-site.

Farms that cannot issue a new card can receive the voucher as a prepaid card at designated agricultural and livestock cooperatives and NongHyup Bank branches after May 14.

Vouchers received as points must be used within 90 days from the date of receipt, and those received as prepaid cards must be used by August 31. Any remaining balance after the expiration date will be forfeited.

The voucher can only be used in industries specified in the announced guidelines, such as agriculture/tools and fuel sales. Recipients of the voucher cannot receive overlapping benefits such as the ‘Emergency Employment Stability Support Fund’ (Ministry of Employment and Labor) and the ‘Small Business Owner Support Fund Plus’ (Ministry of SMEs and Startups).

Farms notified of non-payment can file an objection with additional supporting documents at the Eup/Myeon/Dong community service center from May 3 to 7.
