This is due to being included among the 15 cities and counties nationwide targeted by the Milk Voucher Pilot Project led by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs.

After pioneering the pilot project at elementary schools in Gochang-eup last year, the county will expand and implement it across all towns and townships this year.

The Milk Voucher provides a voucher card with a monthly limit of 15,000 KRW to socially disadvantaged individuals aged 6 to 18 (basic livelihood security recipients, lower-income groups, single-parent families, persons with disabilities, children of national merit recipients) to purchase white milk (100% domestic raw milk) and processed milk, fermented milk, and cheese (at least 50% domestic raw milk).

Vouchers can be used to purchase products at local Nonghyup Hanaro Mart and nearby convenience stores, and applications are accepted year-round at the town and township administrative welfare centers.

A county official stated, "We will contribute to improving satisfaction and expanding milk consumption by broadening milk choices for growing children and adolescents."
