Gochang-gun Opens Applications for 'Double Rice Cropping Direct Payment' Starting from the 7th

[Gochang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Jeonbuk Gochang-gun announced on the 4th that it will accept applications for the 'Double Cropping Paddy Field Direct Payment' at the jurisdictional eup/myeon offices of the farmland with the largest cultivation area from the 7th of this month until the 14th of next month.

The Double Cropping Paddy Field Direct Payment applies to paddy fields used for crops from October last year to June this year, and applicants must maintain their agricultural management entity registration information (farmer, applied farmland) until May 31st to receive the direct payment.

The support conditions require farmland eligible for rice fixed direct payment or field fixed direct payment, and crops such as barley, wheat, oats, potatoes, or forage crops must be cultivated on farmland currently usable as paddy fields.

However, those with farmland used for field agriculture less than 1000㎡ or those with a comprehensive income from non-agricultural sources exceeding 37 million KRW last year are excluded from eligibility.

The payment rate is 500,000 KRW per hectare, and direct payments are made after verification such as compliance inspections following application submission.

A county official said, "This direct payment can increase the agricultural income of farmers practicing double cropping in paddy fields, and we will do our best to ensure all eligible farmers apply."
