▲ Purchase of public reserves

[시사일보=최한규 기자] Taean-gun will purchase rice from public reserves in 2024 in preparation for food crises such as natural disasters.

The county decided to purchase a certain amount of rice from the public stockpile and completed the purchase of 1,026 tons of fresh rice (water rice) early this month, and will also purchase 2,486 tons of dried rice (bag rice) and 1,225 tons of market-isolated grain by the middle of next month. It was announced on the 8th that the purchase will proceed until.

The purchased varieties are ‘Samkwang’ and ‘Chindeul’, and the purchase price for dried rice is the price calculated by converting the national average local rice price (80kg of fine grain) to coarse grain (40kg of rice) during the 2024 harvest season (October to December). It is a single price nationwide. In the case of produced rice, it was purchased at the price of the bag of rice minus the packaging cost (811 won per 40 kg).

The county will pay an interim settlement fee of 40,000 won per 40kg bag in advance immediately after the farmer purchases it, and the final settlement will be completed by December 31 after the rice price is confirmed.

In addition, we plan to provide thorough prior guidance, such as excluding violators of the 19-23 year old public stockpile rice variety inspection system from purchase and allocating public stockpile rice only to farms that actually planted the purchased variety.

A military official said, “The purchased varieties are Samkwang and Chindeul, and only rice that has been dried to a moisture content of 13.0 to 15.0% is purchased. We ask farmers to actively cooperate in purchasing, including checking the purchased varieties and thoroughly managing moisture. “He requested.
