[Gurye=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yuk Miseok] Gurye-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 10th that it will provide a total of 434 million KRW in Women Farmers Happiness Voucher support funds to 2,169 female farmers and fishermen this year.

The Women Farmers Happiness Voucher support project is a program that provides 200,000 KRW annually to female farmers and fishermen in rural areas with poor cultural conditions to offer opportunities for cultural activities.

Until last year, there was a 20,000 KRW self-payment, but from this year, the full 200,000 KRW will be supported without any self-payment to reduce the burden on farming households.

Applications have been accepted at the town and township offices since January, and applications are open until the 28th.

The eligible applicants are female farmers and fishermen aged between 20 and 75 who reside in the jurisdiction and are actually engaged in farming and fishing. Those with business registration and full-time occupations, as well as those selected for the Munhwa Nuri Voucher card, are excluded from eligibility.

Meanwhile, the county announced that it plans to finalize the eligible applicants next month and issue the cards at the county branch Nonghyup and local Nonghyup within April to May.

County Governor Kim Soon-ho said, “We will strive to improve the welfare of female farmers and revitalize the local economy, which has been contracted due to COVID-19.”
