[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Miryang City, Gyeongnam Province announced on the 9th that it will accept applicants for the 2nd round of the Forestry Voucher Support Project until the 21st.

The forestry voucher consists of two projects: the "COVID-19 Overcome Forest Support Voucher," which provides 1 million KRW per forestry household facing difficulties such as restricted sales channels and decreased revenue due to COVID-19, and the "Small-scale Forestry Household Temporary Management Support Voucher," which provides 300,000 KRW to small-scale forestry households.

The Forest Support Voucher is provided to forestry workers who produce mushrooms, wild vegetables, medicinal herbs, and medicinal plants in forest land by land category and whose sales in 2020 decreased compared to 2019.

Detailed eligibility criteria and required documents can be found on the city hall website.

Applications can only be submitted in person at the administrative welfare centers of the applicant’s resident town, township, or neighborhood. Applications and payments are not possible once the budget is exhausted.

Oh Heung-kwae, Director of the Forest and Greenery Division, said, “We will do our best to ensure that forestry workers who have suffered income losses or difficulties due to COVID-19 apply without omission and receive benefits.”
