This will help local small business owners and create a virtuous cycle regional economic structure that revitalizes the local economy.

The Jeonbuk public interest allowance for farmers and fishermen, first introduced by a metropolitan local government, paid about 64.3 billion won in local currency to 107,000 farming households in its first year of implementation in 2020.

In particular, it is not just a simple allowance payment but also contributes to creating livable farming and fishing villages and preserving the rural environment by imposing conditions such as compliance with proper use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides and participation in rural community activities.
