Hampyeong-gun Takes Proactive Steps to Identify Farms Missing Agricultural Management Registration

Status of 409 Unregistered Agricultural Management Entities Identified Through Full Survey

Guidance on Health Insurance Premium Reduction, Public Service Allowance, and Direct Payment Benefits Provided

[Hampyeong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Hampyeong County is drawing attention by taking proactive measures to ensure local farmers can enjoy various welfare benefits through agricultural management entity registration.

On the 1st, Hampyeong County, Jeollanam-do, announced that it is proactively identifying and promoting registration of farms that meet the requirements but have not registered as agricultural management entities, helping to ensure no farms are excluded from support.

Previously, Hampyeong County conducted a survey on agricultural management entity registration status throughout October, confirming that out of 9,269 farming households in the area based on the agricultural support ledger, a total of 8,860 households had completed registration as agricultural management entities.

Accordingly, the county considers 409 households as presumed unregistered and plans to conduct a full survey to actively identify farms that have not registered due to missing documents or other reasons.

Farmers who complete agricultural management entity registration can enjoy various benefits such as reductions in National Health Insurance premiums (with differential reduction rates of 22-50% depending on business income), Jeonnam farmers and fishermen public interest allowance support projects, women farmers and fishermen happiness voucher support projects, and basic public interest direct payments (small-scale farmer direct payments).

Hampyeong County plans to continuously promote these benefits to ensure no residents are left out.

This plan follows the directive of County Governor Lee Sang-ik, who instructed, “Take measures to guide unregistered farms on registration procedures to prevent any farms from missing out on benefits due to lack of awareness about agricultural management entity registration procedures.”

Governor Lee Sang-ik emphasized, “I hope many residents enjoy various benefits such as health insurance premium reductions, public interest direct payments, and public interest allowances through agricultural management entity registration. The administration will actively support so that not a single resident misses out on these benefits due to lack of knowledge.”

Meanwhile, the National Agricultural Products Quality Management Service registers agricultural management entities to implement customized agricultural policies according to farm size and type and to efficiently manage the agriculture and forestry industry.

Farmers cultivating crops on 1,000㎡ or more (330㎡ or more for facility cultivation), agricultural corporations, or those engaged in livestock farming, insect farming, or forestry can also apply for registration if they meet the specified requirements.
