Since February, a demand survey has been conducted to focus on identifying and reviewing areas that require budget allocation for agricultural, forestry, livestock, and food projects, such as implementing national policy tasks and responding to future agricultural policy demands.

The budget applications received through each town and township were reviewed by the responsible departments and then submitted to the review committee. The total requested budget amounts to 23 projects?8 in the public sector and 15 in the autonomous sector?with a total project cost of 41.866 billion KRW.

The agricultural, forestry, livestock, and food projects, which are promoted annually, accept applications in the year prior to project implementation. To ensure fairness and transparency, the 'Yeongyang County Agricultural, Rural, and Food Industry Policy Review Committee' confirms each sector and makes the final decision based on objective review criteria. Once finalized, the projects will be implemented starting in 2026.

County Governor Oh Dochang stated, "Discovering projects for the 2026 agricultural, forestry, livestock, and food sector, which will yield results in key agricultural policy areas such as stabilizing farm management, enhancing the competitiveness of the agri-food industry, and stabilizing the supply and demand of agricultural and livestock products, is extremely important for the development of Yeongyang County's agricultural and forestry sectors." He added, "We will continue to actively respond to agricultural policy demands and focus on identifying areas that require budget allocation to create a Yeongyang County where farmers can prosper."
