The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs announced that it will provide 43.6 billion won in disaster relief funds to farmers affected by rice disease.

The ministry plans to support affected farmers with pesticide costs, replanting costs, and living expenses, along with deferring agricultural policy loan repayments and reducing interest rates.
