Gyeongnam Hamyang County Office.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam Province announced that the 2022 Basic Public Interest Direct Payment registration information will be disclosed on the Agricultural Business Information System website from the 18th to August 1st.

The disclosed information includes the names of farmers and agricultural corporations, corporate names, land lot numbers of farmland, registered area, and information regarding the types of direct payments such as small-scale farmers and area-based payments.

After the disclosure period, information related to the payment of basic direct payments will not be provided without the recipient's request or consent, nor will it be disclosed to others.

The Public Interest Direct Payment system is a program that supports farmers with subsidies to promote public interest functions such as environmental conservation, maintenance of rural communities, and food safety through agricultural activities. It was reformed and implemented in 2020.

A county official stated, “Farmers must request corrections of any changes through the eup/myeon office after applying for direct payments and organize the information to avoid disadvantages such as reductions,” and “They must also comply with 17 items including maintaining the shape and function of farmland for receiving basic public interest direct payments, completing education, and participating in village community activities.”

The county explained that last year, 13.5 billion KRW was paid to 8,146 farms as basic public interest direct payments, and this year about 8,200 farms have applied.

These farms are expected to receive direct payments after November once the compliance confirmation and implementation inspections are completed.

County Governor Jin Byeong-young said, “Since this is a system supporting income stability for farmers, we will carefully review eligibility and carry out administrative tasks to ensure that farms do not suffer any disadvantages, preparing and promoting the program thoroughly.”
