[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 20th that it made the first payment of the Agricultural and Fishery Workers Allowance, which is being implemented for the first time this year, on the 15th.

The total amount paid in this first round was 3,097.5 million KRW, and among the 13,139 confirmed recipients, 10,325 who possessed the Nonghyup Chaum Card were paid with Nonghyup Chaum Card points, which can be used like cash.

The 'Agricultural and Fishery Workers Allowance' is a project aimed at promoting public interest in rural areas and supporting stable agricultural and fishery activities.

A payment of 300,000 KRW is made to the heads of agricultural and fishery management entities registered with agricultural and fishery management information who are actually engaged in agriculture and fishery, and an additional 300,000 KRW is paid to farms registered as joint managers.

The allowance is deducted first from points when card payments are made within Geochang-gun, excluding certain businesses such as karaoke rooms and billiard halls, and the points granted can be used until December 31.

Governor Goo In-mo said, "I hope the Agricultural and Fishery Workers Allowance support project will help stabilize the income of farmers."

Meanwhile, those who did not receive the payment this time are scheduled to receive it at the eup/myeon offices where they applied for prepaid cards after August 8.
