Hwasun County Begins Accepting Applications for the 2026 Public Benefit Allowance for Farmers and Fishers
Applications Accepted From February 12 to March 13
Hwasun County in South Jeolla Province announced that it will accept applications for the “2026 Public Benefit Allowance Support Program for Farmers and Fishers” from February 12 to March 13, in order to preserve the public value of agriculture, fisheries, and rural communities and to help stabilize the income of farmers and fishers.
Those eligible are farm business owners who had their address in Jeollanam-do before January 1, 2025 and registered their farming or forestry business entity, and who currently reside in Hwasun County and are actually engaged in agriculture, fisheries, or forestry. However, in the case of business entities registered with joint business owners, only one of them is eligible for payment.
Meanwhile, the following are excluded from support: those whose non-agricultural and non-fishery income is 37 million won or more; public officials and employees of public institutions; those who have fraudulently received subsidies such as direct payments; and those who have been sanctioned for violating the Farmland Act, the Mountainous Districts Management Act, and similar laws.
Applications can be submitted at the Administrative Welfare Center of the eup or myeon that has jurisdiction over the applicant’s address, and the payment amount is 700,000 won per person per year, which is an increase of 100,000 won from the previous year.
Once the recipients are confirmed, payment is scheduled to be made in April in the form of “Hwasun Love Gift Certificates,” a local currency that can be used only within Hwasun County.
