# Naju to purchase 8,075 tons of public reserve rice for 2026 crop year

> Naju plans to purchase 8,075 tons of public reserve rice from the 2026 crop, with dried-rice procurement starting Thursday and purchases continuing through the end of December. The total is 11.1% below last year’s volume, and farmers will receive an interim payment of 60,000 won per 40 kilograms after purchase.

## Why it matters

Public procurement can support farm incomes and absorb rice from the market, but the smaller purchase volume than last year limits that demand support. The local scale suggests only a modest price effect.
