Ulsan City has been supporting free milk supply for 12,500 socially disadvantaged individuals annually with a project budget of 1.5 billion won, but with this selection, additional free milk supply support is now possible for students attending small schools.

The support targets 1,800 students from 17 elementary, middle, and high schools among 27 small schools that applied to participate in the project, and all of them will receive free milk supply throughout this year.

An official from Ulsan City said, "We expect that expanding the school milk supply will contribute to improving youth health and the development of the dairy industry," adding, "We also plan to host various events to promote the consumption of domestically produced milk to support dairy farmers."
