On April 15, Gokseong County announced that it would implement the logistics cost support program to improve the business environment and strengthen the competitiveness of SMEs located within the county.

Eligible companies are manufacturing businesses that have completed their move-in and registration in Gokseong County by January 1, 2026, with factory registration fully finalized. For companies completing factory registration in 2025, only logistics costs incurred after the registration date will be eligible for support.

The program covers logistics and transportation costs incurred when exporting finished products produced in 2025 or selling and shipping them outside the county. The county will provide support for up to 50% of the costs incurred per company, with a maximum limit of 3 million won per company. Approximately 20 companies will be selected for the program.

However, companies that are temporarily closed or have ceased operations, those not directly engaged in product manufacturing at the registered address, and companies in arrears on national or local taxes are excluded from eligibility. In addition, companies currently facing or having received administrative penalties for violations of the Food Sanitation Act or environmental laws, and those receiving overlapping logistics cost subsidies from other institutions, are also ineligible to apply.

Companies wishing to participate should submit an application to the administrative office of the town or township where their factory is located. Detailed information and required documents can be found in the announcements section of the Gokseong County Office website.

A Gokseong County official stated, "We hope this logistics cost support will provide tangible relief for SMEs struggling with business difficulties and help expand their sales channels," adding, "We will continue to create a business-friendly environment that revitalizes the local economy."
