Iksan City in North Jeolla Province is accepting applications for a farm tax-free fuel price stabilization support program from Oct. 6 to Oct. 30, the city said. Support is paid at 20 won per liter for diesel, 19 won for gasoline and 26 won for kerosene, covering six fuel types in total. Newsis reported the city is spending 194 million won on the program; Yonhap did not give a budget figure. [ 1 , 2 ]
Eligible applicants are farmers with an address in Iksan who are registered in the agricultural management information system under the law on fostering agricultural and fishery management entities, and who have a tax-free fuel purchase card and actually bought tax-free fuel. The payment is based on 50% of the tax-free fuel purchased between September 2025 and August 2026, with a cap of 10,000 liters per farmer. Applications are accepted at administrative welfare centers in the applicant's district or at the rural support division of the city agricultural technology center, and inquiries can be made at 063-859-4522.

Lee Jeong-hwa, head of the city's rural support division, said farm operating costs have grown as tax-free fuel prices rose. Lee said the support is intended to help stable farming activity and asked farmers to check the application period and apply before the deadline. [ 1 , 2 ]
Por qué importa
The program is a local measure aimed at easing farm operating costs after fuel price rises, as described by the city official quoted in both reports. Its scope is limited to farmers resident in Iksan, so the practical effect outside the city is minimal. The documents do not state how many farmers are expected to benefit.
