Nonghyup to Provide "Standard Smart Farms" to 2,000 Farms...Covers 75% of Project Costs

Apply to Local Nonghyup Branch by February 27

Nonghyup announced on February 11 that it is recruiting farms to participate in the "2026 Nonghyup Producer Organization Standard Smart Farm Support Project."

The standard smart farm is a Nonghyup-style smart farm model that installs smart farm control equipment in existing farming facilities such as greenhouses and orchards. Farmers can choose from environmental control type, nutrient solution control type, irrigation control type, or complex environmental control type. Nonghyup plans to provide consulting, training, and after-sales service based on farming data even after installation.

Nonghyup will cover 75% of the total project cost. Selected farms only need to bear 25%. This year, support will be provided to 2,000 farms, more than double the 977 farms supported in the previous year.

The support targets are member farms of Nonghyup producer organizations (joint grading and joint shipping associations) that cultivate facility horticulture and field crops. At least 10 farms per producer organization must participate. Farms wishing to participate must submit an application to their local Nonghyup branch by February 27.
