Yeongcheon City announced the launch of its 2026 organic fertilizer supply program, aimed at promoting environmentally friendly, natural circulation agriculture and the production of high-quality, safe agricultural products. The project has a total budget of 3.255 billion won, including an additional 966 million won in municipal funding, representing the largest investment in organic fertilizer support since 2020.<\/p>\n
Fertilizer allocations were finalized by the Organic Fertilizer Supply Management Council in December, with supply levels increased to 95% of the requested amounts, significantly improving farmer satisfaction. The program targets registered agricultural management entities and includes five types of fertilizers: three organic fertilizers (mixed oil cake, mixed organic, and organic compound) and two matured organic fertilizers (livestock manure compost and general compost).<\/p>\n
City officials emphasized that the expanded budget will help reduce farm management costs, stabilize farm incomes, and strengthen the local economy. The initiative is also positioned as a key step toward reducing reliance on chemical fertilizers and advancing sustainable agricultural practices in the region.<\/p>\n
