Emphasis on Minimizing Farmer Damage at Silgwajang Policy Discussion Meeting
Encouragement of Insurance Enrollment to Ensure Proper Compensation for Farmers and Crop Damage

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yuk Miseok] County Governor Kim Sun-ho held a policy discussion meeting with department heads on the 24th, instructing the promotion and encouragement of enrollment in agricultural policy insurance and the advancement of county administration issues.

At the discussion, Governor Kim emphasized actively promoting the enrollment of farmers in policy insurance, encouraging participation in the ‘Gurye Hope Sharing Store’ opening tomorrow, and maintaining thorough COVID-19 quarantine management to ensure seamless county administration activities.

As the farming season begins with extensive use of agricultural machinery, accidents caused by such machinery are occurring frequently, and damage to crops due to natural disasters and abnormal weather is increasing.

Agricultural policy insurance is divided into farmers' safety insurance, comprehensive agricultural machinery insurance, and crop disaster insurance.

Each is available for farmers aged 15 to 87 engaged in farming, farmers aged 19 or older who own or manage insured agricultural machinery (12 types), and individuals or corporations engaged in agriculture and forestry, respectively, and can be enrolled through local agricultural cooperatives.

Governor Kim instructed, “Actively promote insurance enrollment so that all farmers can join policy insurance and conduct farming activities stably,” and as COVID-19 stabilizes in Gurye County, he ordered, “Resume normal operation of indoor sports facilities from the 24th to minimize inconvenience to residents.”

Meanwhile, the county will hold the opening ceremony of the Gurye Hope Sharing Store, which inherits the spirit of helping others, tomorrow and operate it every Tuesday starting next month to actively promote the spread of a donation culture.
