Governor Choi Moon-soon: "We Will Continue Support to Provide Direct Help to Farmers"

Hwacheon County, Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province (Governor Choi Moon-soon) announced on the 15th that it will support logistics costs for shipments from wholesale markets and agricultural cooperatives engaged in wholesale and retail businesses, as well as delivery costs when farmers and producer groups conduct direct transactions with consumers.

Hwacheon County decided to support up to 70% of the logistics costs incurred during systematic shipments, military supply shipments, and individual or group shipments. In addition, if vehicle operation becomes impossible due to a decrease in agricultural product shipment volume and the agricultural cooperative dispatches vehicles, part of the transportation fee will also be supported.

Hwacheon County supports not only shipments to large clients but also direct transaction costs for Hwacheon agricultural specialties. When farmers and producer groups (corporations, crop cultivation groups) directly trade Hwacheon agricultural products or processed foods made from these products with consumers, delivery costs will be supported.

The support rate is up to 50% (maximum 2,500 KRW) based on 5,000 KRW per delivery. The support limit is up to 300 deliveries for individual farms and up to 600 deliveries for producer groups.
