Damyang-gun Supports Small-Scale Farms Vulnerable to COVID-19 Damage

Temporary Management Support Voucher of 300,000 KRW for Small-Scale Farms... Applications Accepted Until the 30th

[Damyang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Damyang County, Jeollanam-do announced on the 6th that it will provide a voucher of 300,000 KRW per farm starting from the 5th to support the management of small-scale farms vulnerable to COVID-19 damage.

The voucher recipients are farms that received direct payments under the 2020 Public Interest Direct Payment System for small-scale farms and must be registered in the agricultural management entity registration information as of April 1 of this year.

The application deadline is until the 30th of this month, and applications can be made by visiting the local agricultural and livestock cooperatives or Nonghyup Bank at the location of the cultivated farmland (if multiple plots, the location of the largest plot) in person or online through the Nonghyup Card company website.

Each farm will receive a voucher worth 300,000 KRW, which will be provided by charging points to the existing Nonghyup Card owned by the recipient. If it is not possible to issue a new card, the farm can receive a prepaid card.

When received as points, the voucher must be used within 90 days from the date of issuance, and if received as a prepaid card, it can be used until August 31. Any remaining balance after the usage period expires will be forfeited.

Also, under this year's supplementary budget, it is not possible to receive overlapping benefits with similar support funds provided by other ministries or other support projects.

A county official said, “We hope this support will be a small comfort to small-scale farmers struggling due to COVID-19,” and added, “We plan to actively promote so that all eligible farms can apply within the deadline.”
