The compensation amount is determined according to set criteria, taking into account the growth stage of the damaged crops and the area affected. Up to 5 million won will be provided, covering up to 80% of the calculated damage amount, reflecting the extent of the damage and actual losses.

In addition to the compensation program for crop damage caused by harmful wild animals, the county also operates a "Harmful Wild Animal Damage Prevention Team" to proactively respond in areas where wild animals frequently appear, and is making efforts to implement preventive measures to reduce damage to farms in advance.

A county official stated, "We hope this program will help farmers recover some of their losses and support stable farming activities," and added, "If you experience damage caused by harmful wild animals, please apply promptly through your local town or township office."
