Dongducheon City Holds 2017 Rice Income Direct Payment and Upland Farm Direct Payment Review Committee

Dongducheon City held a review committee meeting on the 25th in the City Hall conference room to assess the 2017 rice income direct payment and upland farm direct payment projects.

During the review committee meeting, eligibility assessments were conducted on 112 rice direct payment applicant farms covering 55 hectares and 257 upland direct payment applicant farms covering 110 hectares that applied between February and April 28, including verification of actual farming engagement.

The committee gave particular emphasis to scrutinizing the actual farming status of non-resident farmers, spouses inheriting due to death, direct descendants and ascendants, new applicants, and newly included farmland.

Jung Su-jin, head of the Department of Agriculture, Livestock, and Sanitation, who chaired the committee, urged that "as this is a project to preserve agricultural income, thorough and fair assessments should be conducted for all direct payment applicants."

Going forward, registration certificates will be issued to qualifying farms based on the assessment results, and changes to registered information for farmland will be accepted until September 30.
