For area-based direct payments, a lower unit price is applied as the cultivated area increases, and for small-scale direct payments, farms with a cultivated area between 0.1 ha and 0.5 ha will receive 1.3 million KRW, which is an increase of 100,000 KRW from this year.

County Governor Lee Seung-hwa said, "I hope this will be of some help to farmers who are experiencing difficulties such as rising production costs," and added, "We will continue to support income stability for farmers."
