(Seoul=Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Yoon-gu = The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs announced on the 2nd that it will begin executing people-centered projects such as protecting vulnerable groups and responding to disasters from the first day of the new year. The projects executed on the first day of the new year are a total of 60.7 billion won and include 1,000 won breakfast for industrial complex workers (14 billion won), agricultural food vouchers (21 billion won), disaster response funds (12.8 billion won), and agricultural crop disaster insurance (44.4 billion won), totaling four projects. This is more than double the size of last year's single project, which was 30 billion won. The 1,000 won breakfast for industrial complex workers, a pilot project introduced for the first time this year, provides a morning meal using Korean rice to workers in industrial complexes who have limited access to food. The agricultural food voucher project's budget for this year has increased to 74 billion won, about double last year's (38.1 billion won). The support period has been expanded from 10 months to 12 months. The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs will also execute disaster response funds and agricultural crop disaster insurance from the first day of the new year to support farmers in response to the increase in disasters caused by worsening weather anomalies. ykim@yna.co.kr
