Gyeongnam Hamyang County Office.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam Province, will support 50% of the total usage of tax-exempt agricultural fuel to alleviate the burden on farmers due to the rise in international oil prices.

From March to December, the county will provide a fixed support of 185 KRW per liter regardless of fuel type for about 10 months' worth of usage for gasoline, kerosene, and diesel. The support range is within the actual usage amount of 42 liters to 14,600 liters.

Eligibility for support includes farmers and agricultural corporations residing in the county who have been issued tax-exempt fuel purchase cards. Support is available for tax-exempt fuel costs for 42 types of agricultural machinery (power tillers, tractors, agricultural cargo vehicles, etc.).

The application period is from the 4th of this month to November 25th. Applicants can fill out and submit the application form and supply confirmation form available at the NongHyup branches that issued the tax-exempt fuel cards.

A county official stated, “It is recommended that farmers use and store the allocated tax-exempt fuel amount for the fourth quarter (December) before November 25th and then apply. Since the application and promotion period for this support project is short, we hope farmers actively apply.”
