Geumsan County will provide a total of 7.9 billion won in Chungnam Farmers and Fishermen Allowance in 2025 to ensure basic income security for farmers and fishermen and to revitalize the local economy.

This year’s allowance will be distributed to approximately 13,300 eligible farmers and fishermen who meet certain requirements. Single-person households will receive 800,000 won each, while households with two or more people will receive 450,000 won per person, aiming to ensure basic livelihood stability and income security.

The allowance will be provided via Nonghyup prepaid cards. Recipients can visit their local township administrative welfare center with identification to collect the card before the Chuseok holiday.

The prepaid card can be used until the end of 2026 and is valid only at affiliated businesses and Hanaro Mart within the county, in order to promote local consumption and foster a virtuous economic cycle.

In addition, the county plans to implement further support measures to improve the quality of life for farmers and fishermen, maintain rural communities, and create a sustainable agricultural and fisheries environment.

Park Beomin, the governor of Geumsan County, stated, "This Farmers and Fishermen Allowance is both a reward for the hard work of our agricultural and fisheries workers and a policy investment to safeguard the foundation of Geumsan’s economy. We will continue to provide attentive policy support so that farmers and fishermen can maintain stable lives."
