Jangseong-gun Provides 'Customized Rice Farming Materials' Support for Rice Cultivation Farmers

[Jangseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Jo Hangyu] Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 24th that it will promote the 'Customized Agricultural Materials Support Project' for rice farming households.

The county expects this project to contribute to increasing farm income and reducing management costs.

The agricultural materials provided include six types: customized fertilizer, apple snails (wangureongi), seedbed soil and mats, seedling box treatment agents, liquid silica, and improved water channels.

This year, the county increased its own budget by about 10% compared to last year to reduce the burden on farmers caused by rising raw material prices.

Accordingly, for customized fertilizer, 80% of this year's price increase will be supported in the first phase by the government, Jangseong-gun, and Nonghyup, and the county will additionally support 6,500 KRW per bag with county funds.

Support for apple snails has increased by 5% compared to last year for general paddy fields, with 80% support.

The support rate for eco-friendly paddy fields remains the same as last year (90%).

Seedbed soil and mats, seedling box treatment agents, and liquid silica will be provided through a public contest at an average price about 17% cheaper than the market price, supplying high-quality materials.

Farmers wishing to apply can submit their applications directly at the administrative welfare centers of their local eup/myeon by the 4th of next month.

The supply of agricultural materials is planned to be carried out through local Nonghyup from mid-next month until June.

A county official said, "We plan to promote various projects to support the management of rice farming households and the stable production of rice."
