Cheongyang County in South Chungcheong Province has begun distributing the '2025 Chungnam Agricultural and Fisheries Allowance' to support the management stability of local farmers and fishers. The total number of recipients is 10,880, and the total payment amount reaches 6,480 million won.

The Chungnam Agricultural and Fisheries Allowance is a system introduced to recognize the public value of agriculture and fisheries, and to address income disparities and promote economic revitalization in rural areas.

The payment amount varies depending on household type: single-person households receive 800,000 won; two-person households receive 900,000 won (450,000 won per person); and three-person households receive 1,350,000 won.

The allowance is provided via prepaid cards, which can be used at affiliated stores within the county. The usage period is until December 31, 2026, and any remaining balance will not be refunded.

Eligible recipients are those who had resident registration in the county before January 1 of the previous year and maintained registration as an agricultural or fisheries business operator, with a comprehensive non-agricultural and non-fisheries income of less than 37 million won in 2023. Cards can be collected at the local town or township office according to the address, and in unavoidable circumstances, a family member may collect the card on behalf of the recipient.

A county official stated, "We hope that this allowance will provide practical help to farmers and fishers who have recently suffered damage due to heavy rainfall," and added, "We will continue to do our best to ensure stable livelihoods and increased income for farmers and fishers."
