A view of Namhae County Office.

The ‘Agricultural and Fishery Workers Allowance Support Project’ is promoted to enhance the public interest functions of rural areas and ensure stable agricultural and fishery activities. It provides 300,000 KRW each to business owners and co-managers who are actually engaged in agriculture and fisheries among agricultural and fishery management entities registered with agricultural and fishery management information.

Eligibility for business owners requires having an address in Gyeongsangnam-do from January 1, 2023, until the allowance application date, and continuous registration in the agricultural and fishery management entity during the same period. For co-managers, eligibility requires that the business owner meets the qualifications, and the co-manager must have an address in Gyeongsangnam-do from January 1, 2023, until the allowance application date and be continuously registered as a co-manager until the application date. However, co-managers must meet the allowance payment conditions of the registered business owner of the management entity.

Exclusion criteria include ▲persons with comprehensive income other than agriculture and fishery exceeding 37 million KRW in 2022 ▲persons who have been penalized for violating the Farmland Act, Mountainous Area Management Act, Livestock Epidemic Prevention Act, or Fisheries Act ▲persons who have fraudulently received various subsidies in 2023 or are within the subsidy payment restriction period ▲persons who have newly separated households while having direct lineal relatives registered at the same resident registration address as the agricultural and fishery allowance recipients according to the family relation certificate.

Even if selected as a recipient of the Agricultural and Fishery Workers Allowance Support Project, participants must attend education and village community activities; failure to participate will result in full recovery of the allowance.

Selected farmers and fishers will receive the allowance in July this year via the NongHyup Chaum Point Card through consultation with local financial institutions. Those without a NongHyup Chaum Card must obtain a NongHyup card (credit or debit) beforehand.

Kim Do, Director of the Agriculture and Livestock Division, said, “This Agricultural and Fishery Workers Allowance Support Project is expected not only to help stabilize the income of farmers and fishers but also to greatly assist local small business owners and traditional markets,” and added, “We strongly urge all actual agricultural and fishery workers to apply within the deadline to ensure no one misses out on the benefits.”
