[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gwiyeol] Uljin-gun, Gyeongbuk, is accepting applications for the 2022 Eco-friendly Agricultural Products Support Project for Pregnant Women until the 21st to realize social values such as public health, environmental conservation, and regional economic revitalization.

The project targets residents of Uljin-gun who gave birth after January 1, 2021, or are currently pregnant as of the application date. Eligible recipients will receive an annual eco-friendly agricultural product package worth 480,000 KRW with partial self-payment.

Among applicants, mothers who gave birth after January 1, 2021, will be given priority as national pilot project recipients in 2022, and those excluded from the national project will be supported separately with regional eco-friendly agricultural products through a budget secured by the county's own project.

Pregnant women participating in the Nutrition Plus project of the Uljin-gun Public Health Center are excluded.

Jeon Geukjung, Director of the Future Agricultural Policy Division, said, “We will contribute to health promotion and overcoming low birth rates by providing safe eco-friendly food to pregnant women,” adding, “We will strive to continuously expand the consumption of eco-friendly agricultural products.”
