# [Public forum on Essential Farm Inputs Support Act | Opening remarks and presentations] "Practical support needed when input prices surge… trigger criteria and funding must be clarified"

> A National Assembly forum on the Essential Farm Inputs Support Act was held on November 10, hosted by Democratic Party lawmakers, with the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs presenting its implementation plans. Speakers said the law needs clear support criteria, stable funding, a review committee reflecting field views, and stronger advance supply-chain management. The law takes effect in December 2026, while its Article 7 on support starts in December 2027.

## Why it matters

Government support for fertilizer, feed and fuel price spikes could cushion Korean farm input costs, but the timing and funding limits affect how much relief feed buyers can expect. Until triggers and funding are set, the law adds little immediate price pressure either way.
