Gyeongnam Changnyeong-gun Extends Half-Price Agricultural Machinery Rental Fees Until June This Year

Changnyeong-gun, Gyeongnam Province, will extend the 50% reduction period for agricultural machinery rental fees, which was implemented last year, until June of this year.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] Changnyeong-gun, Gyeongnam Province, will extend the period of a 50% reduction in agricultural machinery rental fees, which was temporarily operated last year, until June this year.

The county is the first in the nation to provide free delivery for agricultural machinery that is difficult to transport, aiming to reduce farmers' labor hours and inconvenience in transporting machinery. This support allows many farmers to rent and use agricultural machinery.

The extension of the rental fee reduction period was decided to help farmers who are feeling the management burden due to the increase in COVID-19 cases and the spread of variant viruses.

Residents engaged in farming in the county and enrolled in the Agricultural Safety and Disaster Insurance can apply, and applications can be submitted via visit, phone, or the county website.

County Governor Han Jeong-woo said, “I hope this helps farmers who are struggling with labor shortages due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic,” and added, “We will find various and practical support measures to reduce the management burden on farms.”
