[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] Gyeongsangnam-do will accept applications for support for the purchase of tax-exempt agricultural fuel from the 24th until November 25.

Gyeongnam Province announced that it will actively promote the support project for the purchase of tax-exempt agricultural fuel to alleviate the production cost burden on farmers who are struggling due to rising fuel costs.

Support was initially planned only for gasoline, diesel, and kerosene, but the project plan has been changed to additionally support heavy oil, LPG, and by-product fuels No. 1 and No. 2.

Applications can be submitted by farmers or agricultural corporations who have their address in the province as of the application date and have been issued a tax-exempt agricultural fuel purchase card.

If the person who was issued the tax-exempt fuel purchase card has passed away, the successor of the farming operation can apply.

The province will support 185 KRW per liter regardless of fuel type for 50% of the total usage of seven types of tax-exempt fuels?gasoline, diesel, kerosene, heavy oil, LPG, by-product fuel No. 1, and by-product fuel No. 2?used by farms from March to December this year (10 months).

Eligible applicants must purchase all planned usage for December by the end of November and submit the support application form to the resident center of their address’s eup, myeon, or dong from October 24 to November 25.

The head of the Western Eco-friendly Agriculture Division said, “It is expected that about 121,000 people in the province will benefit,” adding, “We hope this will somewhat ease the management burden on farmers who have been increasingly struggling due to rising fuel costs following the Russia-Ukraine situation and recent increases in agricultural material prices.”
