Busan City Launches Application for Eco-Friendly Agricultural Products Package Support Program for Pregnant Women

Eco-Friendly Agricultural Products Shopping Mall Package Purchase, 80% Support on Purchase Amount

March 13 to March 15, Applications Available at EcoMall and Local District Offices

Busan City will accept applications for the Eco-friendly Agricultural Products Package Support Project for Pregnant Women from March 13 to March 15.

Busan City Hall.

This project supports pregnant women by covering 80% of the purchase amount, up to a maximum of 480,000 KRW, when they buy eco-friendly agricultural product packages consisting of organic seafood, pesticide-free agricultural products, and organic processed foods from the eco-friendly agricultural products shopping mall.

It was established to promote the health of future generations and encourage the consumption of eco-friendly agricultural products through the supply of safe food.

The minimum purchase amount is 50,000 KRW, which has been raised this year due to increases in grocery prices.

A total of 7,012 pregnant women in the Busan area will be supported, and recipients will be selected through a random draw among applicants.

Eligible applicants must have a residence in Busan and be either currently pregnant as of the application date or have given birth after January 1, 2023.

Pregnant women wishing to apply can do so online via Ecoimall or visit their local district or county office with supporting documents such as a birth certificate or pregnancy confirmation.

The first supply will begin in April. After collecting the purchased items, they will be delivered to the pregnant women’s residences via courier or other delivery services.

Kim Byung-gi, Director of the Marine and Fisheries Bureau of the city, stated, “We expect that this support project will provide safe eco-friendly agricultural products to pregnant women, thereby promoting the health of future generations.” He added, “It is also anticipated to contribute significantly to securing sales channels for local eco-friendly agricultural producers and increasing farm income.” He further said, “Our city plans to continuously expand support projects and will do its best to manage the quality and supply of agricultural products with the mindset that these are for our own families.”
