Namwon City in North Jeolla Province will provide the '2025 Fisheries Industry and Fishing Village Public Value Support (Fishermen Public Interest Allowance)' from September 22 to 26, 2025.
According to the city on September 22, this Fishermen Public Interest Allowance is a program implemented as a form of social compensation for the multifaceted and public functions of fishermen, such as protecting fishery resources and preserving the fishing village environment. The purpose is to stabilize fishermen's income and promote the sustainable development of the local fisheries industry.
The payment amount is 600,000 won per year for a single-person fishery management entity, and 300,000 won per person for entities with two or more members. To boost the local economy, the allowance will be provided in the form of Namwon Love Gift Certificates (local currency).
Eligible recipients are fishermen who have maintained their fishery management entity in North Jeolla Province from December 31, 2023, until the date of final recipient confirmation, and whose total non-agricultural and non-fishery income is less than 37 million won.
Fishermen can visit the On-site Support Division of the Namwon Agricultural Technology Center to complete the payment process and receive their allowance. The city plans to strengthen administrative support during the payment period and provide thorough on-site guidance to ensure a smooth process and minimize inconvenience.
