[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 24th that it is accepting the second round of applications for the ‘Temporary Management Support Voucher for Small-scale Farms.’


Applications can be submitted in person at the Nonghyup or Nonghyup Bank located in the farmland area until the 31st of this month, and online applications are not possible.


Unlike the first round of support, which was provided through Nonghyup credit/debit card point recharge, the second round will be provided only via prepaid cards.


The prepaid card must be used by August 31 regardless of the issuance date, and any remaining balance cannot be used after the expiration date.


Additionally, the card can only be used in industries announced by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, and internet commerce payments are not allowed.


The eligible recipients are those who received direct payments under the 2020 Basic Public Interest Direct Payment Scheme for small-scale farms and were registered as farm operators in the agricultural management entity registration information as of April 1, 2021.


Recipients cannot receive this support simultaneously with Emergency Employment Stability Subsidy (Ministry of Employment and Labor), Small Business Support Fund Plus (Ministry of SMEs and Startups), Temporary Management Support Voucher for Small-scale Fisheries (Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries), or Temporary Management Support Voucher for Small-scale Forestry (Korea Forest Service).



A county official stated, “Since this voucher is intended to help stabilize the management of small-scale vulnerable farms affected by COVID-19, we will widely promote it so that farms that missed the first round of support can definitely apply.”
