Cho Geunsu, Head of Headquarters, stated, "Gyeongnam Nonghyup will continue to actively participate in promoting the Hometown Love Donation Program so that it can become a catalyst for urban-rural coexistence and overcoming the crisis of local extinction."
The Hometown Love Donation Program allows individuals (excluding corporations) to donate up to 5 million KRW per year to local governments other than their place of residence. Donations are fully tax-deductible up to 100,000 KRW, and amounts exceeding 100,000 KRW are eligible for a 16.5% tax credit. Donors can also receive local specialty products or other rewards worth up to 30% of their donation.
