According to the city on November 7, this support project is being promoted to reduce the management costs for farmers and realize sustainable agriculture. It is implemented annually to encourage the resource utilization and recycling of agricultural, livestock, and forestry products, supply organic matter to the soil, preserve the soil environment, and foster eco-friendly agriculture.

Eligible applicants are farmers who have registered or plan to register as an agricultural management entity. This qualification must remain valid until the time when the organic fertilizer is actually supplied.

Applications must be submitted at the administrative welfare center (Eup, Myeon, or Dong) in the area where the applicant's farmland is located. If a farmer has farmland in multiple cities or counties, a separate application must be submitted to the administrative welfare center in each respective location.

The supported fertilizers include two types: organic fertilizer and matured organic fertilizer (compost). Organic fertilizer is subsidized at 1,600 KRW per 20kg bag, while matured organic fertilizer is subsidized at between 1,300 KRW and 1,600 KRW per bag, depending on the grade.

In particular, the city will provide an additional subsidy of 300 KRW per bag to farmers who apply for fertilizer produced by local manufacturers, thereby increasing the actual benefits for farmers. The organic fertilizer applied for will be supplied sequentially starting in January next year.

A city official stated, "This project aims to reduce the management costs for farmers, and we hope for active interest from the farming community. Farmers wishing to apply should update their agricultural management entity information and be sure to submit their application within the designated period."
