The Organic Fertilizer Support Project is implemented annually with the goal of improving soil fertility and expanding eco-friendly agriculture. It provides partial subsidies for the purchase of by-product fertilizers (organic fertilizers and composted organic fertilizers) used in agricultural production, and also promotes the recycling and resource utilization of by-products from agriculture, forestry, and livestock.

The supported items include a total of five types: three types of organic fertilizers (mixed oilcake, mixed organic fertilizer, and organic compound fertilizer) and two types of composted organic fertilizers (livestock manure compost and general compost). Gangjin County provides a subsidy of 3,430 won per 20 kg bag for the three types of organic fertilizers produced within the province. For composted organic fertilizers, in addition to the government subsidy (ranging from 700 to 1,000 won), Gangjin County provides an additional 1,280 won for top-grade products, totaling 2,280 won in support.

The county explained the scale of support by stating that, in 2025, it supplied 365,014 bags to 2,423 farming households.

The eligible recipients are agricultural businesses registered with agricultural management information that use organic fertilizers in crop production. Farmers wishing to apply should submit an application form specifying the type of fertilizer, quality grade (for composted organic fertilizer), requested quantity, and desired supply period, along with related documents, to the industrial team at the township or town office where their farmland is located.
