Ulju-gun to Implement Farmer Subsidy Support Project This Year

Ulju-gun, Ulsan is promoting the ‘2025 Farmer’s Allowance Support Project’ to enhance the public functions of agriculture and rural areas and to stabilize farmers' incomes.

The target recipients of this farmer’s allowance are farmers who have had a residence in Ulsan since January 1 of this year, actually reside there, and receive the 2025 Basic Public Direct Payment.

Once confirmed as eligible, a lump sum of 600,000 KRW per household will be paid annually between November and December.

If the jurisdiction (application location) for the 2025 Basic Public Direct Payment is Ulju-gun, applicants can visit the administrative welfare center of the township or town where their farmland is located from next month until April to apply simultaneously for the Basic Public Direct Payment and the Farmer’s Allowance.

However, if the address is in Ulju-gun but the application location for the Basic Public Direct Payment is outside Ulsan, applicants must bring the 2025 Basic Public Direct Payment registration certificate and visit the administrative welfare center of their township or town in their address area in June to apply separately for the Farmer’s Allowance.

Qualified farmers must check the application period and location, and submit the application form along with consent forms for the use and utilization of information of the applicant and spouse, the Basic Public Direct Payment registration certificate (only if the jurisdiction and application location differ), and other required documents within the application period.

Farmers who have pre-applied for the Basic Public Direct Payment online this month and meet the eligibility criteria can visit the township or town administrative welfare center to apply for the Farmer’s Allowance.

Recipients of the Farmer’s Allowance are obligated to faithfully fulfill duties to maintain and enhance the public functions of local agriculture and rural areas. These include △participation in village community activities △preservation of agricultural and rural ecosystems △voluntary disposal of agricultural waste △prohibition of unauthorized land or mountain terrain alteration or burning of forest-adjacent areas △compliance with quarantine standards to prevent the occurrence or spread of livestock infectious diseases.

An official from Ulju-gun stated, “We hope that the support of the Farmer’s Allowance will take a step forward in creating sustainable agriculture and rural areas, and we will do our best to provide practical support to many farmers.”
