Jeollanam-do has urged all eligible farmers to apply for the winter strategic crop direct payment by the deadline of the 31st at their local eup, myeon, or dong offices where their farmland is located.

The strategic crop direct payment program is a project that supports direct payments of up to 5 million KRW per hectare, depending on the crop, for cultivating barley, wheat, or forage crops in rice paddies during winter, and soybeans, powder rice, or summer forage crops during summer, in order to stabilize the rice supply and demand and improve food self-sufficiency rates.

Eligible applicants are agricultural management entities that cultivate strategic crops such as barley, wheat, or summer forage crops on more than 1,000 square meters of paddy fields from October 2024 to October 2025, according to the crop season.

The payment rates per hectare by crop are as follows: in winter, barley and forage crops 500,000 KRW; wheat 1,000,000 KRW (summer standard); corn and sesame 1,000,000 KRW; soybeans and powder rice 2,000,000 KRW; and forage crops 5,000,000 KRW.

Additionally, if wheat or forage crops are cultivated in winter and soybeans or powder rice are double-cropped in summer, an additional incentive of 1,000,000 KRW per hectare is provided.

From this year, the direct payment rate for winter wheat has increased from 500,000 KRW to 1,000,000 KRW per hectare, and for summer forage crops from 4,300,000 KRW to 5,000,000 KRW. Newly cultivating summer sesame (chamkkae or deulkkae) will also receive a direct payment of 1,000,000 KRW per hectare.
