충북 브레이크뉴스】임창용 기자=충주시는 올해 기본형 공익직불금 지급 대상 11,338 농가에 177억 원을 지급했다고 29일 밝혔다.
‘기본형 공익직불제’는 농업 활동을 통해 환경보전, 농촌 유지, 식품 안전 등 농업과 농촌의 공익기능 증진과 농업인의 소득 안정 도모를 위해 일정 자격을 갖추고 17가지 준수사항을 이행하는 농업인에게 직불금을 지급하는 제도다.
시는 지난 2월부터 5월까지 공익직불사업 신청을 받아 10월 자격요건 검증을 통해 공익직불 지급대상자를 확정하고, 농지 형상 유지 등 17가지 준수사항을 점검한 결과를 반영해 지급액을 확정해, 소농 직불금 3,662 농가에 47억 원, 면적직불금 7,676 농가에 130억 원을 지급했다.
‘공익직불사업’은 소농 직불과 면적직불로 나뉘며 소농 직불금은 5,000㎡ 미만 경작을 하며 영농종사, 농촌 거주 연속 3년 이상 등의 일정 요건을 충족하는 농업인에게 면적과 관계없이 130만 원을 정액 지급하고, 면적직불금은 경작 면적에 따라 구간별 단가(100~205만원/ha)를 적용해 차등 지급한다.
조길형 시장은“올해 잦은 강우와 기록적인 더위, 비래해충 벼멸구 피해 등으로 경제적으로 어려운 시기를 보낸 농가에 공익직불금이 도움이 되길 바란다”고 말했다.

Chungju City, 17.7 billion won in basic public service direct payments to farmers in 2024
4.7 billion won in direct payments to small farmers, 13 billion won in direct payments to areas
Chungju City announced on the 29th that it paid 17.7 billion won to 11,338 farm households eligible for basic public service direct payments this year.
The ‘basic public service direct payment system’ is a system that pays direct payments to farmers who meet certain qualifications and comply with 17 compliance items to promote public service functions of agriculture and rural areas, such as environmental conservation, rural maintenance, and food safety, through agricultural activities and to stabilize farmers’ income.
The city accepted applications for the public service direct payment project from February to May, verified the qualifications in October, confirmed the recipients of the public service direct payment, and confirmed the payment amount by reflecting the results of checking 17 compliance items such as maintaining the shape of the farmland, and paid 4.7 billion won to 3,662 small-scale farm households for direct payments and 13 billion won to 7,676 small-scale farm households for area direct payments.
The ‘public service direct payment project’ is divided into small-scale farm direct payments and area direct payments. Small-scale farm direct payments pay a flat rate of 1.3 million won to farmers who farm less than 5,000㎡ and meet certain requirements such as farming and living in a rural area for more than 3 consecutive years, regardless of the area, while area direct payments are paid differentially by applying a unit price (1 million to 2.05 million won/ha) by section depending on the cultivated area.
Mayor Cho Gil-hyung said, “I hope that the public direct payment will be helpful to farmers who have had an economically difficult time this year due to frequent rainfall, record-breaking heat, and damage from the flying pest, the rice planthopper.”
