Jeonnam Province announced that it is extending the application deadline for the "Inorganic Fertilizer Price Support Program" until the 15th to reduce the financial burden on farmers due to rising inorganic fertilizer prices. The original deadline was last month's 30th, but it was extended due to unavoidable delays in fertilizer purchases caused by farming schedules. The Inorganic Fertilizer Price Support Program, which began in 2022, aims to alleviate the production and management costs of farms by selling inorganic fertilizers at a discount of 80% of the price increase, with the government, local governments, and agricultural cooperatives sharing the subsequent costs. The support limit is based on the average fertilizer purchase amount over the past two years.
