Chungnam Province Supports Young Farmers with 'Farmland Lease Fees' Assistance

Chungnam Province is promoting a farmland lease fee support project for young farmers. The purpose is to assist young farmers who face difficulties securing farmland and to revitalize agricultural entrepreneurship among local youth.

Chungnam Province announced on the 7th that it will recruit candidates for the 'Young Farmers Farmland Lease Fee Support Project' until the 29th of this month.

The support targets are local young farmers aged 18 to 49 (born between 1974 and 2006) who have signed lease contracts for farmland through national or public land or the Korea Rural Community Corporation's Farmland Bank, or private lease contracts, and are registered as heads of agricultural management entities.

Chungnam Province plans to support 50% of the lease fee for the farmland contracted by the eligible candidates, up to 2 million KRW annually, for a maximum of 3 years (totaling 6 million KRW).

Applications can be submitted at the administrative welfare centers of the applicant's resident jurisdiction's city, county, or district by the deadline, referring to the announcement and project implementation guidelines posted on each city and county website.

In addition to the farmland lease fee support project, Chungnam Province is implementing policies to help young farmers settle stably in farming, including support for agricultural start-ups by graduates of agricultural schools, support for youth self-reliant smart farms, and support for eco-friendly young farmer facilities.

Oh Jin-gi, Director of the Agriculture, Forestry and Livestock Bureau of Chungnam Province, said, “We hope that the farmland lease fee support project will help many young farmers establish a foundation for farming.”
