Gyeongbuk Province announced that the 2023 Gyeongsangbuk-do Farmer and Fisherman Allowance applications, which have been accepted via mobile and eup/myeon/dong administrative welfare centers since the 6th, will close on February 28.

Eligible applicants are heads of farming households who meet the qualifications of farmers, foresters, or fishermen as defined by individual laws, have registered their agricultural, forestry, or fishery business information before January 1, 2022, and have continuously resided in Gyeongbuk Province for more than one year as of the same date.
