Applications will be accepted from the 13th of this month until the 6th of next month at the resident centers of the towns, townships, and neighborhoods where the farmland is located. Detailed information can be found in the notices and announcements section on the Gimcheon City website.

The supported installation facilities include wire mesh fences and wooden fences (electric and solar-powered). Eligibility requires a planned installation area of at least 1,000㎡ and ownership allowing continuous cultivation for over five years. Any local farmer or forester who has not previously received support from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries FTA fund or other damage prevention facility support can apply. This project supports 60% of the installation costs, with a maximum support amount of 4 million KRW per farm.

Last year, Gimcheon City supported damage prevention facilities at 129 farms, helping to alleviate the difficulties faced by citizens suffering from damage caused by harmful wildlife.

Im Chang-hyun, head of the Environmental Sanitation Division of Gimcheon City, said, “We hope farms affected by harmful wildlife will actively apply for this project, and we will continue to strive to protect citizens' safety and crops.”
