Boseong-gun Promotes Government-Distributed Seed Price Difference Support Project to Reduce Farmers' Burden

Support of 10,000 KRW for 20kg of Rice, 7,000 KRW for Wheat, and 4,000 KRW for Soybeans

[Boseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Boseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 19th that it will promote this year's government-subsidized seed (rice, wheat, soybean) differential support project to improve the quality of food crops and enhance the effect of seed renewal.

Government-subsidized seeds are quality-assured seeds produced and supplied by the National Seed Management Office, strictly managed at each production stage, maintaining high purity and preserving the unique characteristics of the varieties well. They have a high germination rate, resulting in improved quality and increased yield.

Boseong-gun secures provincial funds and provides differential support funds by crop: 10,000 KRW/20kg for rice, 7,000 KRW/20kg for wheat, and 4,000 KRW/20kg for soybeans.

Eligible applicants are farmers who apply for and receive government-subsidized seeds.

Seedlings using priority supply seeds and seeds applied for as priority supply for wheat are excluded.

The application period for subsidized seeds is until the 28th for rice, from April 1 to April 8 for soybeans, and from July 21 to September 14 for wheat.

Applications are accepted at the farmers' consultation offices in each eup and myeon, and supply is provided through local agricultural cooperatives.

An official from the Agricultural Technology Center said, "Through the government-subsidized seed differential support project, more farms can reduce their operating costs," and added, "We hope that high-quality food crops will be produced using systematically managed subsidized seeds from production to supply."
