Each student is supplied with one 200ml milk carton per day for 250 days annually, at a price of 530 KRW per carton, which is cheaper than the market price.

This year, in addition to plain milk, the variety of products has been expanded to include cheese, fermented milk, and other items preferred by students.

Gyeonggi Province will also invest 13.3 billion KRW in a budget to provide free milk supply to 100,000 socially disadvantaged individuals, including basic livelihood security recipients, single-parent families, and children of national veterans.

Lee Kang-young, Director of Livestock Policy Division of Gyeonggi Province, stated, "Milk is a complete food that supplies essential nutrients to growing adolescents," and added, "We hope that all students in Gyeonggi Province can participate in the milk supply program and contribute to revitalizing milk consumption."
