Hwasun-gun Partially Supports Increased Tax-Free Fuel Costs for Agricultural Machinery

[Hwasun=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Ji-woon] Jeonnam Hwasun-gun (Governor Gu Bok-gyu) announced on the 22nd that it will support "a portion of the increase in tax-free fuel for agricultural machinery" to ease the management burden on farms struggling due to the rise in international oil prices.

To this end, the county plans to invest 820 million KRW.

The support target is agricultural (legal) persons who applied by the 30th of last month to the local agricultural cooperatives that issued the relevant tax-free fuel cards.

A fixed amount of 183 KRW per liter will be supported for gasoline and diesel used from March to last month among the allocated tax-free fuel for agricultural machinery.

However, subsidies will not be provided to users who consumed less than 28 liters of tax-free fuel, and for farmers who used more than 10,000 liters, support will be capped at 1.83 million KRW.

As the oil price increase continues, the county plans to establish a second support plan by next month and will accept applications for tax-free fuel for agricultural machinery used from this month through October.

A county official said, "We hope that by partially supporting the increased amount caused by the rise in oil prices, it will help stabilize the management of farmers."
