To share the achievements and future plans of these agricultural policies, the county recently held the "2026 Inje County Agricultural Policy Promotion Meeting" in the small conference room of the Inje County Agricultural Technology Center. The meeting was attended by Choi Sanggi, Mayor of Inje County; Park Jin-ho, Head of the Inje County Branch of the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation; local agricultural and livestock cooperative leaders; heads of agricultural organizations; and relevant officials, totaling 17 participants.

The meeting highlighted key achievements in areas such as reducing farm management costs, stabilizing income, and strengthening distribution competitiveness. Notably, the "Half-Price Agricultural Supplies Support Project," a major pledge of the 7th and 8th popularly elected administrations, was implemented with a budget of 16 billion won, providing support for half the cost of mineral fertilizers, pesticides, agricultural film, and seed purchases. This contributed significantly to alleviating the financial burden on farmers.

In addition, through cooperative projects with agricultural and livestock cooperatives, the county implemented 77 projects worth a total of 35.2 billion won, including the supply of soil conditioners, support for organic fertilizers, and green manure crop seeds, thereby improving efficiency in the production stage. The county also continued projects to support packaging materials, transportation costs, joint sorting costs, and fresh produce delivery fees, which helped reduce distribution costs and enhance the competitiveness of local agricultural products.

Direct support projects to stabilize farm income were also carried out. The "Farmer Allowance," which embodies the concept of a basic income for farmers, provided 700,000 won per household to a total of 3,127 households, amounting to 2.2 billion won. Through the "Agricultural Development Fund," 10 loans totaling 680 million won were provided at a low annual interest rate of 1%, offering practical management stability. Additionally, the public direct payment program is being implemented for 3,383 farms with a total budget of 4.9 billion won, scheduled for payment in early December.

Inje County plans to continue implementing sustainable agricultural policies next year to further stabilize farm management and improve farmers' welfare, including expanding the production base, preserving income, and strengthening the distribution system.

Choi Sanggi, Mayor of Inje County, stated, "To allow farmers to focus on production, the administration will establish a production base through various support programs, while agricultural and livestock cooperatives will be responsible for revitalizing distribution. By strengthening this division of roles, we aim to realize profitable and sustainable agriculture in Inje, increase farm income, and invigorate the local economy."
