Gwangju City to Recruit Candidates for Rural Resource Complex Industrialization Support Until the 19th

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] The Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 12th that it is recruiting candidates for the Rural Resource Complex Industrialization Support Project, which aims to assist local agricultural and food manufacturing companies struggling to expand sales channels due to reduced consumption of agricultural products, until the 19th.

This support project will provide production, manufacturing, processing, and cooking equipment support to five agricultural and food manufacturing companies, with 22 million won allocated per company.

Eligibility requirements include agricultural and food production, manufacturing, processing, and cooking companies whose main office is located in Gwangju as of the announcement date (April 5). Interested companies can apply by visiting, mailing, or emailing the Life Agriculture Division of the city.

However, companies are ineligible to apply if they have completed the same subsidy project within the last three years, have a history of project abandonment, have a lease (usage) period of less than five years for the building required for equipment installation, or have cases of improper use of government support projects within the last five years.

For more details, search for ‘Recruitment of Candidates for the Rural Resource Complex Industrialization Support Project’ on the city’s website under Notices and Announcements or contact the Life Agriculture Division.

Gwangju plans to select project candidates next month through internal review by the Life Agriculture Division and the city’s Local Subsidy Review Committee based on the submitted applications.

Kim Hyun-jung, head of the city’s Life Agriculture Division, said, “We hope this project will help local food companies struggling due to COVID-19,” and added, “We will continue to prepare various support measures for local food companies facing difficulties in expanding sales channels due to low recognition and lack of marketing capabilities.”
