Muan-gun, Early Supply of Activation Agent for Kim Aquaculture Farms

Urgent Supply Considering Steep Inflation

[Muan=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] Jeollanam-do Muan-gun has completed the early supply of seaweed farm activator to produce tasty and high-quality seaweed by removing debris and preventing diseases in seaweed farms.

The seaweed activator, containing more than 10% organic acid, is a product that has undergone aquaculture efficacy tests by a nationally recognized testing institution and serves as a nutrient that promotes the growth of seaweed.

The county invested 210 million KRW this year to supply 222 tons of activator to 13 local fishing villages engaged in seaweed farming.

This year, an additional 100 million KRW was included in the county's supplementary budget to reduce the financial burden on seaweed farmers and to supply the shortfall due to provincial subsidy projects.

Considering the recent sharp rise in prices, the county hastened the supply and completed the seaweed activator supply first in the province. Moving forward, it plans to contribute to the revitalization of fishing villages through proactive administration for the convenience of fishermen.

A county official stated, “We plan to produce 2023 seaweed by installing 23,000 seaweed rafts on 1,288 hectares of seaweed farms,” adding, “If sea conditions remain favorable and appropriate water temperatures are maintained, promoting good growth of seaweed blades, it is expected to greatly help increase the income of seaweed farmers.”
