[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) is recruiting additional pregnant women to participate in the eco-friendly agricultural products support project for pregnant women, which supplies eco-friendly agricultural products to pregnant women to provide healthy food and help farmers facing difficulties in sales.

The additional recruitment number is 46, and pregnant women residing in Jungnang-gu or mothers who gave birth after January 1, 2020, are all eligible to apply. However, those who are currently beneficiaries of the Health Center Nutrition Plus program at the time of application are excluded.

Applications can be made from 10 a.m. on August 24 on a first-come, first-served basis through the eco-friendly agricultural products shopping mall for pregnant women. If online application is difficult, applicants can visit the Urban Agriculture Division of Jungnang-gu Office to apply in person.

Selected pregnant women will receive eco-friendly agricultural product packages worth approximately 410,000 KRW per person, including a 20% personal contribution, for 12 months from the date of application.

When the support amount is provided as points in the dedicated shopping mall, applicants can select items and pay their personal contribution (20% of the total order amount) upon ordering and receive delivery. Orders can be placed up to four times a month, with each order ranging from 30,000 KRW to 100,000 KRW.

Supported items include organic agricultural and marine products, pesticide-free agricultural products, organic processed foods, and pesticide-free raw material processed foods. Applicants can choose items according to their preferences or select a pre-made package to order.

Ryu Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, said, “The eco-friendly agricultural product package support project for pregnant women provides healthy food to pregnant women and contributes to expanding sales channels for eco-friendly farmers facing difficulties. We hope that pregnant women in the region can give birth and recover healthily through eco-friendly agricultural products.”

Last year, the district supported agricultural product packages to 768 local pregnant women, and earlier this year, it received applications on a first-come, first-served basis for eco-friendly agricultural product packages targeting 1,137 pregnant women, receiving great response.
