Yoon Seok-yeol "Realizing Compensation for Agricultural Waste Collection and Expanding Village Collection Centers"

38th Seokyeol-ssi's Heart-Throbbing Promise

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, announced on the 12th that he will prevent environmental pollution in rural farming and fishing villages by realizing the collection reward for safe agricultural waste disposal.

On the same day, Yoon announced the realization of the collection reward and the expansion of village collection centers near agricultural workplaces as the 38th promise of 'Seok-yeol's Heart-throbbing Promise.'

To handle agricultural waste, the plan is to realize the currently negligible collection reward of an average of 100 won per kilogram and to increase the number of village collection centers, which currently stands at 9,201 locations (as of February 2021). Yoon's camp also presented an analysis that the low collection reward for agricultural waste results in some waste not being collected and left unattended or illegally buried in soil or burned, causing secondary environmental pollution.

Yoon predicted that through this, "farmers will be able to conveniently dispose of agricultural waste, reducing soil and water pollution, and greatly improving the environment in rural farming and fishing villages."
