Hwaseong-si, Farmer and Fisherman Basic Income Applications Accepted Until the 20th

Guaranteeing Basic Rights and Survival Rights of Farmers and Fishermen

Hwaseong City in Gyeonggi Province will accept the third round of applications for the Basic Income for Farmers and Fishermen from the 10th to the 20th.

The Basic Income for Farmers and Fishermen introduced by Hwaseong City this year is a campaign pledge of the 8th local government administration. It is provided to guarantee the basic rights and livelihood of farmers and fishermen and to compensate for the public interest production activities of agriculture and fisheries. However, the basic income is paid in local currency, not cash.

This third application period is for farmers and fishermen who were unable to apply during the first and second application periods. Those who met the eligibility criteria as of the start dates of the first and second application periods but did not apply, as well as those who meet the eligibility criteria as of October 10, the start date of the third application period, can apply.

Applications can be submitted by visiting the local branch office or the eup/myeon administrative welfare center of the applicant's address jurisdiction. Farmers can also apply through the 'Basic Income for Farmers Integrated Support System.'

Jung Myung-geun, Mayor of Hwaseong City, said, "We expect the Basic Income for Farmers and Fishermen to stabilize the income of farmers and fishermen and increase sales for local small business owners, thereby contributing to the revitalization of the local economy."

Previously, through the first and second application rounds, the city paid Basic Income for Farmers and Fishermen amounting to 7.452 billion KRW to 18,975 farmers and fishermen.
