Applications for 'Icheon City Agricultural Award' Candidates Accepted Until the 29th

Icheon City in Gyeonggi Province is accepting applications for candidates for the '26th Icheon City Agricultural Award' until the 29th.

The 'Icheon City Agricultural Award', established in 2000, recognizes outstanding farmers who play a leading role in the development of agriculture in Icheon by spreading new agricultural technologies, improving the quality of agricultural products to secure international competitiveness, and practicing scientific farming to increase farm income. Until last year, a total of 117 recipients had been selected.

This year, three individuals will be selected. Applications can be submitted in the following categories: rice, horticulture and specialty crops, fruit, livestock, and women farmers. Through document screening and on-site evaluation, candidates who score 60 points or higher will be reviewed by the selection committee, which will ultimately choose three recipients.

Applicants must reside in Icheon City, be engaged in agriculture, and have a business location. However, those who have previously received the Icheon City Agricultural Award are not eligible to apply.

Those wishing to apply should submit an application form to the administrative welfare center of their town, township, or district and obtain a recommendation from the head of the respective administrative unit. The city will conduct on-site inspections to verify the facts of the achievements and will select the recipients through deliberation by the Icheon City Agricultural Industry-Academia Cooperation Committee.

Recipients will be eligible to be nominated for various agricultural awards at both the Gyeonggi Province and national levels, and will be provided with opportunities for domestic and overseas training. They will also be appointed as honorary instructors for agricultural education programs conducted by the Agricultural Technology Center.
