Taean County in Chungnam Province is launching a project to support the installation of eco-friendly toilets to improve the working environment and rights of female farmers in the region.

The county announced on the 5th that it will be accepting applications until the 28th for the "Eco-Friendly Toilet Installation Support Project for Agricultural Worksites," which will cover 90% of the purchase cost (2.7 million KRW per unit) for eco-friendly portable toilets this year.

This project aims to guarantee the basic rights of female farmers and enhance convenience during agricultural work. Priority will be given to female farmer organizations and individual female farmers who work in areas without nearby toilets and have a high number of daily users.

Subsidies will be provided only for eco-friendly (natural fermentation type) portable toilets that separate solid and liquid waste, as they generate less odor and are easy to use and maintain. Applicants must secure the site for installation in advance and designate a person responsible for management to be eligible for support.

Female farmers and organizations wishing to apply should visit their local township office with the application form and required documents by the 28th. After purchasing and installing the toilet, the county will conduct an on-site inspection and verification before providing the subsidy.

A county official stated, "We are promoting this eco-friendly toilet installation support project to enhance the basic rights of female farmers and improve their working environment. We ask for the active interest of eligible applicants, and we will continue to make multifaceted efforts to improve the quality of life and competitiveness of farmers."
