Yeongju City to Distribute 3.1 Billion Won in Second Half Agricultural and Fisheries Allowance Starting September 2

Yeongju Love Gift Certificate Policy Allowance, 1,507 Farms to Receive 300,000 Won Each

Yeongju City, Gyeongbuk Province, will provide a total of 3.15 billion KRW in the second half of the year to 10,507 local farming and fishing households from July 2 to October 31.

The Farmers and Fishers Allowance is a program implemented by Gyeongbuk Province since 2022 to create a sustainable agricultural and fisheries environment by granting allowances to farmers and fishers who maintain and promote the public value of agriculture, fisheries, and rural communities.

The recipients are heads of farming and fishing businesses who registered their businesses and had their address in Gyeongbuk Province as of December 31, 2022.

For the second half of the year, each household will receive 300,000 KRW in Yeongju Love Gift Certificates, which will be distributed at the Nonghyup branch selected during application. Unlike general gift certificates, which cannot be used at affiliated stores with annual sales exceeding 3 billion KRW, these certificates can be freely used as before.

Park Namseo, Mayor of Yeongju, said, "I hope that the support through the Farmers and Fishers Allowance will help stabilize the livelihoods of farmers and fishers and revitalize the local economy, even if only a little," and added, "We will thoroughly promote the program to ensure that all eligible farmers receive their allowances without any issues."
