In Jeju, the heat wave and tropical nights last summer caused great damage to the tangerine peels.

Jeju’s agricultural authorities receive damage from red-flavored farms to compensate for disasters.

Disaster subsidies are expected to be decided as early as the end of this month.

KCTV Jeju Broadcasting’s Kim Junghoon Lee reports.

It is a farm with red flavor that is classified as an exclusive fruit among persimmons.

It’s about to be harvested, but it’s hard to find much fruit.

Fruits hanging on certain branches often fall off weakly with even the slightest touch or tearing of the skin.

Last summer, the prolonged heat wave and tropical nights caused “heat” damage that caused mandarin peels to burst during the growing season.

Red flavor farmers called on the agricultural authorities to come up with measures, saying that the heat and damage rate was 83 percent based on their own findings.

(Oh Byung-guk / Chairman of Jeju Red Hyang Research Association: Farmers are seriously threatened to make ends meet, let alone pay for loans and agricultural materials that will be repaid in the future.)

Red flavor farmers affected by such heat and damage are expected to be able to receive disaster compensation.

This is because the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs recently decided to accept Jeju Island’s proposal to support the heat and damage of manicures.

Consequently, Jeju Island receives full-fledged damage reports from farmers.

Jeju Island predicted that the amount of support and standards will be determined according to the extent of damage as early as the end of this month after conducting a detailed survey from the 12th to the 14th.

(Jeju Special Self-Governing Province official: We have basic data of three years of production, so based on that, for example, 100 kg should be produced, but if it seems that only 50 kg can be produced, 50% of the affected farms should admit that they suffered damage, so we try to take it from that…)

Red frankincense and other persimmons have been classified as crop disaster insurance since 2019, but there have been no cases of compensation for damage caused by heat.

Again, disaster relief funds are expected to be used to offset the damage.

But Jeju Island carefully expects that the heat and damage investigation will also improve crop disaster insurance standards.
