Four Nonghyup Hanaro Mart branches in Geumsa-myeon, Sanbuk-myeon, Jeomdong-myeon, and Heungcheon-myeon have been added as eligible locations.

This measure is in line with the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and Nonghyup's announcement on the 21st regarding improved convenience for using the Livelihood Recovery Consumption Coupons. The policy took effect starting Friday, August 22.


In rural areas, even if there are local marts or supermarkets, it can be difficult to purchase daily necessities or fresh food. In response, the pan-government task force reviewed the circumstances of each township and town, assessed the status of local commercial districts and the impact on small business owners, and decided which Nonghyup Hanaro Mart branches would be included in the expansion plan.


The eligible locations in Yeoju City are Geumsa Nonghyup Hanaro Mart, Geumsa Nonghyup Hanaro Mart Sanbuk Branch, Jeomdong Nonghyup Hanaro Mart, and Heungcheon Nonghyup Hanaro Mart, totaling four locations. The full list can be found on the Yeoju City Hall website (About Yeoju - Yeoju News - 2025 Livelihood Recovery Consumption Coupon Board) and the Nonghyup website (e-Public Relations Center - Notice Board).


Meanwhile, the application deadline for the first round of Livelihood Recovery Consumption Coupons is September 12. The second round of applications will be accepted from September 22 to October 31. The coupons must be used by November 30.



Additionally, Yeoju City is providing a door-to-door application service for the Livelihood Recovery Consumption Coupons, targeting vulnerable groups such as those with mobility difficulties and the elderly.
