Eligible applicants are agricultural management entities that have registered their agricultural management information and wish to receive organic fertilizer. Applicants must fill out the application form specifying the desired type of fertilizer, supply period, supplier, and quantity, and submit it to the administrative welfare center of the town or township where the farmland is located.

If the farmland is located in multiple cities or counties, applications must be submitted to the administrative welfare center in each respective area. If the farmland is located in two or more towns or townships within the same county, applications can be submitted to the administrative welfare center of any one of those locations.

A total of five types of fertilizers are eligible for support: three types of organic fertilizers (mixed oil cake, mixed organic, and organic compound fertilizers) and two types of matured organic fertilizers (livestock manure compost and compost). For each 20kg bag, 1,600 KRW will be subsidized for organic fertilizers, and 1,300 to 1,600 KRW will be subsidized for matured organic fertilizers depending on the grade.

The county plans to allocate the requested quantities within the budget and supply them next year.

County Governor Yoo Heetae stated, "Through this project, we will do our best to ease the management cost burden for farmers and to produce high-quality, safe agricultural products by preserving soil environments and establishing sustainable, nature-circulating agriculture."
