The Farmer and Fisherman Allowance implemented in 2022 provided 600,000 KRW per farm to a total of 3,821 farms, distributing 2.289 billion KRW in Yeongyang Love Gift Certificates in two installments during the first and second halves of the year. This year, the allowance will be paid in the same manner.


Yeongyang-gun will accept applications from eligible individuals who bring valid identification at the jurisdictional eup/myeon offices of their residence for 23 days from February 6 to 28. Additionally, starting this year, applications can be submitted without visiting the eup/myeon offices through the ‘Moiso Gyeongsangbuk-do’ app.


After submission, those who meet all eligibility requirements, including address and agricultural management entity status, will be selected as recipients. Selected recipients must maintain their eligibility until receiving the allowance. The allowance will be paid in April and August, during the first and second halves of the year, respectively, to stabilize agricultural management.


County Governor Oh Do-chang said, “Through the payment of the Farmer and Fisherman Allowance, I hope it will not only boost the pride of farmers but also provide some support to farmers who strive to create a sustainable agricultural environment.”



The Agriculture and Livestock Division and eup/myeon offices reiterated that they will actively promote the program to ensure that no eligible farmer misses the application and fails to receive the allowance, and will thoroughly manage the payment process.
