Agricultural Disaster Recovery Fund: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how to access emergency grants for crop or facility damage caused by natural disasters in South Korea.

This fund provides emergency financial support to farmers who have suffered damage to their crops or farm facilities due to natural disasters like typhoons or floods.

Who it's for

This scheme is for farmers who experience damage to their crops or agricultural facilities resulting from natural disasters.

What you get

You can receive emergency grants designed to help cover a portion of your recovery costs. This support is intended to help you pay for rebuilding facilities or replanting your crops.

What it costs you

There is no direct fee to apply, but you must act quickly. You are required to report the damage to your local town office within 10 days of the disaster occurring.

The catch to know

The most important thing to remember is to wait before you clean up. If you clear away the debris or damaged materials before the damage has been officially reported and inspected, you may lose your eligibility for payment.

How to apply

  1. Assess the damage to your crops or facilities immediately after a disaster.
  2. Contact your local town office to report the incident.
  3. Ensure you submit your report within the required 10-day window.
  4. Wait for the official inspection before clearing any debris from the site.
