Namwon-si 'Subsidy Support for Early Retirement of Old Diesel Agricultural Machinery'

[Namwon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Young-kwon] Namwon City, Jeonbuk (Mayor Lee Hwan-joo) announced on the 13th that it will provide a "Subsidy for Early Retirement of Old Diesel Agricultural Machinery" to reduce fine dust and improve air quality.

The support targets are farmers and agricultural corporations registered as agricultural management entities.

The eligible agricultural machinery includes diesel tractors and combines produced before 2013, registered in the Nonghyup tax-free fuel management system, must be in normal operating condition, and the applicant must have owned it for more than six months as of the subsidy application date.

The subsidy amount varies depending on the model specifications and manufacturing year, with tractors receiving between 1 million and 22.49 million KRW, and combines between 1 million and 13.1 million KRW.

However, optional parts attached to the agricultural machinery and auxiliary work machines are not supported.

Support is also not available if there is an outstanding loan repayment on the machinery or if it was illegally produced or distributed.

The application process involves applying at the Eup, Myeon, or Dong administrative welfare center, where the scrapping business verifies the operating status of the machinery, and after scrapping, a scrapping confirmation certificate is issued to receive the subsidy.

A city official said, "We ask for active participation from farmers owning the relevant agricultural machinery to reduce fine dust emissions in the agricultural sector and create a pleasant air environment."
