Reduction of 10% in Public Direct Payments for Non-Compliance with 'Maintaining Farmland Functions and Agricultural Waste Management' Requirements
Nonggwanwon to Inspect Compliance with Direct Payment Requirements for Farms by September 15
The National Agricultural Products Quality Management Service announced on the 24th that it will inspect whether the 1.33 million farms that applied for the Public Interest Direct Payment this year have complied with the mandatory requirements of the Public Interest Direct Payment System from July 1 to September 15.
Introduced in 2020, the Public Interest Direct Payment System is a program that supports direct payments to help stabilize the income of farmers engaged in agriculture while promoting the public functions of agriculture and rural areas. To receive 100% of the direct payment, farms must fully comply with the 17 mandatory requirements stipulated by law.
In particular, the Agricultural Products Quality Management Service plans to focus on verifying compliance with requirements such as maintaining farmland shape and function, managing agricultural waste?which has seen the reduction rate strengthened from 5% to 10% starting this year?participation in village community activities, and keeping farming diaries.
If a farm fails to comply with the mandatory requirements, 10% will be deducted from the total amount of the Public Interest Direct Payment they would receive. If the same requirement is repeatedly violated, the deduction rate doubles, so caution is necessary. For example, if 10% was deducted in 2023 for failing to maintain farmland shape, and the farm again fails to maintain farmland shape in 2024, a 20% deduction will be applied.
