[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do, has decided to provide disaster relief funds early before the Chuseok holiday to fruit and vegetable farmers who suffered damage from the cold wave and frost in January this year.

According to the county on the 2nd, last winter's cold wave and frost caused damage to crops such as figs and napa cabbage over an area of 138 hectares.

Based on the damage survey results, the county plans to provide disaster relief funds totaling 360 million won to 364 farms according to disaster grade and payment standards, depositing the funds into individual bank accounts before the Chuseok holiday to help stabilize their livelihoods.

In addition, the county will support affected farms with nutrients such as organic fertilizers and compost, as well as non-woven fabric to prevent fig frost damage, aiming to reduce the economic burden on farmers.

County Governor Park Woo-ryang said, “I hope that farmers who are experiencing economic difficulties due to this year’s cold wave and frost damage will receive disaster relief funds, stabilize their lives from COVID-19, and receive economic assistance.”
