Cheongsong-gun Extends 50% Reduction on Agricultural Machinery Rental Fees Until December This Year

Cheongsong-gun, Gyeongbuk Province, is extending the 50% discount on agricultural machinery rental fees until December this year to minimize the management burden on farmers caused by rising prices of agricultural machinery, labor costs, and fuel expenses.

Cheongsong-gun had been providing a 15% discount on agricultural machinery rental fees since October 2024 through an ordinance, but to support farmers struggling due to the economic downturn, it has decided to extend the 50% discount policy on agricultural machinery rental fees until December this year.

The rental fee discount applies to all 658 units of 62 types of agricultural machinery, including agricultural tractors rented from the three agricultural machinery rental centers within Cheongsong-gun (head office, Nambu, Jinbo), and is also applicable to long-term rentals.

Governor Yoon Kyung-hee stated, “We have decided to extend the agricultural machinery rental fee discount policy until the end of 2025 to help reduce production costs and secure income for farms struggling due to the economic downturn. We will continue to develop various support measures to minimize damage to farms.”
