National Agricultural Products Quality Management Service accepting applications at township/district offices nationwideThe Hwaseong Office of the National Agricultural Products Quality Management Service (Director Choi Tae-yeol) announced on the 18th that beginning this year, it will integrate the application forms for new and amended registration of agricultural management entities with applications for rice income stabilization direct payments, upland farm direct payments, and conditional disadvantaged area direct payments, accepting integrated applications and submissions from February onwards. This measure aims to resolve inconveniences for farmers in applying for various direct payment programs and to systematically manage such payments. Accordingly, farmers and agricultural corporations wishing to receive rice, upland farm, and conditional disadvantaged area direct payments must submit agricultural management entity registration and integrated direct payment application forms to either the Agricultural Products Quality Management Service office in their residential area or the township/district office where their farmland is located by June 15. However, applications for winter crop (including paddy field double cropping) upland farm direct payments must be submitted by March 21, and farmers not subject to direct payment projects or not wishing to apply may register new or amended agricultural management entities by July 31. The Hwaseong Office plans to provide convenience to farmers by implementing a "visiting application service" by village during the application period, providing maximum assistance to farmers in completing their application forms. However, as emergency quarantine systems are currently in operation due to avian influenza outbreaks, poultry farms in avian influenza-affected areas will be excluded from village visiting application services until the situation is resolved to prevent quarantine management issues. For townships and districts included within risk areas (3km from avian influenza outbreak farms) and all villages in townships and districts adjacent to risk areas, visiting application services will be temporarily suspended until the situation is resolved. For farms raising eight types of poultry including chickens, ducks, and quail, they will be excluded from village visiting application services and alternative methods such as telephone applications will be provided. Those whose villages are not subject to visiting application services or those wishing to submit directly may submit their application forms directly to the Agricultural Products Quality Management Service office or branch in their residential area jurisdiction or to the township/district office where their farmland is located.

국립농산물품질관리원 화성사무소(소장 최태열, 이하 농관원 화성사무소)는 올해부터 농업경영체 신규·변경등록과 쌀소득등보전직불금, 밭농업직불금, 조건불리지역 직불금의 신청서식을 하나로 통합해 2월부터 통합신청 및 접수한다고 18일 밝혔다.

이는 각종 직불금 신청에 따른 농업인의 불편을 해소하고 직불금을 체계적으로 관리하기 위한 조치로 이에 따라 쌀·밭·조건불리 직불금을 받고자 하는 농업인 및 농업법인은 6월 15일까지 농업경영체 등록 및 직불금 통합신청서를 거주지 농관원이나 농지소재지 읍·면·동사무소에 제출해야 한다.

다만, 동계작물(논 이모작 포함) 밭농업직불금 신청은 3월 21일까지이며, 직불사업 대상이 아니거나 신청을 원하지 않는 농업인은 7월 31일까지 농업경영체 신규·변경등록이 가능하다.

농관원 화성사무소에서는 신청기간 동안 마을별로 찾아가는 '방문접수 서비스'를 실시해 농업인의 신청서 작성을 최대한 도와줌으로써 농업인에게 편의를 제공할 계획이다.

다만, 현재 AI 발생으로 비상 방역체계가 가동 중이므로 방역관리에 문제가 되지 않도록 AI 상황 종료 시까지 AI 발생지역 및 가금류 사육농가는 마을 방문접수 대상에서 제외한다.

AI 발생농장 기준 위험지역(3km) 내에 포함된 읍·면·동 및 위험지역 인접 읍·면·동의 전체 마을에 대해 상황 종료시까지 방문접수를 잠정 보류하고 닭, 오리, 메추리 등 8개 가금류 사육농가에 대해서는 마을 방문접수 대상에서 제외하고 전화 접수 등의 방법으로 대체할 계획이다.

방문접수 서비스 대상 마을이 아니거나 직접 제출을 원할 경우 거주지 주소 관할 농관원 지원·사무소나 농지소재지 관할 읍·면·동사무소에 직접 신청서를 제출할 수 있다.
