Gyeonggi Province Expands Eco-Friendly Agricultural Products Support for Pregnant Women by 7,500 Recipients

Gyeonggi Province will be accepting additional applications for the 'Eco-Friendly Agricultural Products Support Program for Pregnant Women' until September 8.

The Eco-Friendly Agricultural Products Support Program for Pregnant Women is a project designed to reduce the burden of purchasing eco-friendly agricultural products for pregnant women and new mothers, while supporting healthy food consumption. Eligible recipients can select from a range of eco-friendly certified products—including organically grown agricultural products, pesticide-free agricultural products, organic processed foods, animal welfare certified items, and antibiotic-free livestock products—through an online shopping mall and have them delivered directly to their homes.

Applicants must be women who have given birth on or after January 1, 2025, or currently pregnant women as of the application date, with a registered address in one of 25 eligible cities or counties within the province. The remaining 6 out of the total 31 cities/counties are excluded from this round of applications because their participant quotas were filled during the previous application period.

The additional number of recipients to be selected is approximately 7,500. Based on the recruitment scales allocated to each city and county, participants will be chosen either through a lottery system or on a first-come, first-served basis.

Selected pregnant women will receive eco-friendly agricultural products worth a total of KRW 240,000 per person, which includes a 20% self-payment portion.

Pregnant women wishing to apply may do so online via Ecoemall (ecoemall.com), or they may visit the local community service center in their area with supporting documents such as a birth certificate or proof of pregnancy to complete their application in person.

Hwang Insoon, Director of the Eco-Friendly Agriculture Division of Gyeonggi Province, stated, "Through this additional recruitment, we hope to provide more pregnant women with eco-friendly agricultural products, supporting healthy childbirth and parenting, while also helping to boost the income of local farmers by expanding the consumption of eco-friendly agricultural products. We encourage all pregnant women who have not yet applied to show interest and participate."
