Wanju-gun Promotes 2022 Resident Participation Budget Support Project in Agricultural Prosperity Sector

80 Million Won Invested This Year... Support for Customized Farms, CCTV, and Logistics Equipment

[Wanju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kim Han-ho] Wanju County announced on the 18th that it will promote the ‘2022 Agricultural Prosperity Sector Resident Participatory Budget Support Project’ led by farmers.

The project budget for this year is 800 million KRW.

The project types include three sectors: customized agricultural policy support, CCTV for crop theft prevention, and support for agricultural product distribution logistics equipment.

Wanju County’s customized agricultural policy support project is a bottom-up subsidy project where farms autonomously design and propose projects and the administration provides tailored support, which has received high responsiveness from farms.

Wanju County plans to install customized agricultural policy support at 7 locations, 113 small-scale cold storage units, and 16 CCTV cameras for crop theft prevention.

The support targets are local farmers or corporations registered as agricultural management entities, and 50% of the total project cost will be supported within limits of 10 million KRW for individuals and 30 million KRW for corporations.

The subsidy unit price per pyeong for the cold storage project has been increased by 500,000 KRW compared to last year in line with the inflation rate, and the project is expected to be completed promptly within the first half of the year so that farms can utilize it for farming and distribution.

For more detailed information regarding support for the agricultural participatory budget project, inquiries can be made to the Agricultural Policy Team of the Agriculture and Livestock Division of Wanju County.
