Saechungmu will be allocated and applied for separately by eup and myeon depending on the secured quantity later, and for any shortages, farmers plan to use self-produced seeds and voluntary exchange seeds.
A county official said, “This year was a difficult year due to rice planthoppers, but we hope many will apply for the government-certified seeds, which are carefully selected varieties that reduce lodging and pests and diseases, have good quality, and are effective in increasing yield.”
Meanwhile, Haman-gun has selected Saechungmu and Yeonghojinmi as the public stockpiling rice for 2025.
