Anseong City paid a total of 17.6 billion won in basic public service direct payments to 11,272 farmers in the region in 2024. The public service direct payment system is a system designed to strengthen the public service functions of agriculture and rural areas and support stable income for farmers. Payments are made upon farmers meeting qualification requirements and complying with compliance requirements.
This public direct payment is divided into small-scale direct payment and area direct payment, and in the case of small-scale direct payment, 1.3 million won was paid per farm household. This is an increase of 100,000 won from the previous 1.2 million won starting this year. Area direct payment is paid at a differentiated unit price according to the farmland area section, and recipients must meet 17 conditions, including maintaining the shape and function of the farmland and complying with pesticide safety standards.
