Daejeon City Conducts 'Farmland Usage Survey' Including Land Transaction Permission Zones

[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Daejeon City is launching a utilization status survey of farmland within its jurisdiction.

The city announced on the 16th that it will conduct a "Farmland Utilization Status Survey" targeting 10,676 parcels of farmland within land transaction permission zones, farmland owned by agricultural corporations, foreigners, and overseas Koreans, as well as farmland for which farmland acquisition qualification certificates have been issued in the past five years, until December 31.

The farmland utilization status survey is an administrative investigation to verify facts related to ownership, transactions, use, and conversion of farmland, and will be conducted annually on a mandatory basis starting this year.

In particular, the city includes farmland acquired by residents living outside the jurisdiction in the past five years in the survey to investigate whether farmland owners are engaged in agricultural management and to check for illegal fallow or unauthorized leasing and illegal conversion.

If the investigation confirms illegal ownership or leasing of farmland, unauthorized fallow, or other violations of the Farmland Act, administrative measures such as imposing farmland disposal obligations and filing complaints will be taken.

A city official stated, "Through the farmland utilization status survey, we will establish order under the Farmland Act and strengthen management to ensure the efficient use of farmland."
