Online Applications Open from the 12th, Eup/Myeon/Dong Offices Accept from the 14th, Closing on the 30th

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Yeosu City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Kwon Oh-bong) announced on the 9th that it will provide vouchers worth 1 million won to farms facing management difficulties such as sales restrictions and revenue declines due to the impact of COVID-19.

Eligible applicants include flower cultivation farms, schools supplying eco-friendly agricultural products for school meals, and rural experience and recreation villages that had production operations last year and experienced a decrease in sales compared to 2019.

Applicants must be registered as agricultural management entities as of the announcement date and submit proof of sales decline such as shipment performance certificates.

Applications for the farming support vouchers can be submitted online or in person.

Online applications are accepted from the 12th to the 30th on the voucher website, and in-person applications can be made at the township, town, or neighborhood offices in the agricultural land location from the 14th to the 30th.

Payments will be made from the 14th of next month via prepaid cards at local agricultural and livestock cooperatives and NongHyup Bank.

The usage period is until September 30, and any remaining balance after the usage period will be completely forfeited.

Additionally, internet transactions through online means are not allowed.

A city official requested that since many farmers and fishermen are expected to visit township, town, and neighborhood offices simultaneously at the beginning of the application period, they comply with social distancing, mask-wearing, and other measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The official also urged, "Please strictly follow quarantine rules such as social distancing and mask-wearing when visiting township, town, and neighborhood offices to prevent the spread of COVID-19."

Meanwhile, this farming support voucher cannot be received concurrently with emergency employment stabilization funds, small business owner support funds Plus, temporary livelihood support funds, COVID-19 overcoming English support vouchers, or COVID-19 overcoming forestry support vouchers.

However, it can be received concurrently with the small-scale farm temporary management support voucher.
