The Young Farmers Settlement Support Project is a program funded by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs to provide financial support to young farmers so they can enter and settle in farming stably. Eligible applicants are young people aged 18 or older (born before December 31, 2007) and under 40 (born after January 1, 1985), who have no farming experience (prospective farmers) or have farming experience of three years or less.

If selected as a project participant, they can receive a monthly farming settlement support voucher ranging from 900,000 to 1,100,000 KRW for up to three years. However, recipients must engage in farming for an additional period equal to the support duration (e.g., if supported for three years, they must farm for an additional three years), and failure to meet this condition will result in the repayment of the support funds.

Additionally, if selected for the project, applicants can receive successor farmer management development funds upon request. This includes loans up to 500 million KRW per household (annual interest rate 1.5%, 5-year grace period, 20-year repayment) along with various farming education and consulting services.

Applicants for the Young Farmers Settlement Support Project can apply online through the ‘Agricultural Business Information System’.

Detailed information about the project can be found on the announcement section of the Yangyang-gun Office website and the notice menu of the Yangyang-gun Agricultural Technology Center website. Consultations and guidance are available at the Rural Development Division, Future Agriculture Promotion Team of the Agricultural Technology Center.

Hwang Byung-gil, Director of the Yangyang-gun Agricultural Technology Center, stated, “We hope that young and talented individuals will take an interest in agricultural management and actively apply, and we will support young people to settle stably in Yangyang-gun.”
