Jeongeup-si Additional Applications for 'Duty-Free Fuel Price Stabilization Support Project'

[Jeongeup=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Jeongeup City in Jeonbuk announced on the 3rd that it will accept additional applications for the 'Agricultural Duty-Free Fuel Price Stabilization Support Project' until the 15th to alleviate the management burden on farms suffering from rising fuel prices.

The 'Agricultural Duty-Free Fuel Price Stabilization Support Project' is a program that supports up to one-third of the previous year's allocated amount, within a limit of 10,000 liters, for four months of duty-free fuel usage during the period from January to June.

The support unit price is 322 KRW per liter for diesel and 276 KRW per liter for gasoline, and the eligible recipients are agricultural (legal) persons residing in Jeongeup City who have been issued duty-free fuel cards by the Nonghyup.

Applicants must obtain proof of duty-free fuel usage from the local Nonghyup where they applied for the duty-free fuel card and submit the application form to the relevant eup/myeon office or dong community service center.

The city completed payments on the 2nd for 5249 applicants amounting to 1.07 billion KRW for applications received from August 29 to September 23.

Payments for additional applications are planned to be made by the end of this month.

A city official stated, "This will greatly help reduce the management burden on farmers who are struggling due to recent increases in agricultural material prices, labor costs, and the collapse of rice prices," and urged, "Please be sure to apply within the period to prevent any disadvantages to farms due to non-application."
