[Muan＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] Muan-gun, Jeollanam-do, will continue to provide an additional 50% discount on agricultural machinery rental fees until June next year, following this year, to alleviate the management burden on farmers.

According to the county on the 24th, any farmer in the area who uses rental agricultural machinery will receive an additional 50% discount on the existing rental fee for the first day of use per model for one unit.

From the second day of rental, users pay the usual fee, and each model can be used for up to three days.

The amount of agricultural machinery rental fee discounts amounted to 97.75 million KRW for 9,775 cases in 2020, 230 million KRW for 9,815 cases in 2021, totaling 535 million KRW for 19,590 cases to date.

Due to Muan-gun's active rental fee discounts, the rental performance of agricultural machinery is increasing, and the economic relief effect directly felt by farming households is significant, receiving great responses from users.

County Governor Kim San said, "Due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, labor shortages in rural areas and rising labor costs are expected to increase the economic burden on farming households," adding, "We hope that the agricultural machinery rental fee discount will help alleviate the economic burden on farmers even a little."
