Damyang-gun Promotes Happiness Voucher Support Project for Women Farmers

Voucher Card Worth 200,000 Won Provided... Apply Through Local Nonghyup

[Damyang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] On the 12th, Damyang County in Jeonnam announced that it will begin issuing cards for the ‘Women Farmers and Fishermen Happiness Voucher Support Project’ to enhance the welfare and cultural and leisure life of women farmers and fishermen.

The Women Farmers Happiness Voucher Project provides funds for cultural activities to women farmers and fishermen in rural areas with poor cultural conditions. If the recipient pays 20,000 KRW, they will receive 200,000 KRW loaded onto a voucher card.

The support targets women farmers aged between 20 and 75 who have resided in Jeonnam Province for more than one year and are actively engaged in agriculture. Those with business registrations, full-time occupations, or beneficiaries of similar welfare services under other laws are excluded.

Card issuance applications have been available since the 12th through local Nonghyup branches. The card can be used in various everyday-related fields such as culture, leisure, sports, and restaurants. Any unused balance by the end of the year must be returned.

A county official stated, “We hope the Happiness Voucher card will serve as a source of vitality for women farmers tired from farming and also help the local economy, which has been weakened by COVID-19.”
