◆What is a corporation eligible for farmland ownership?
Agricultural corporations are the general term for corporations that engage in agriculture, including land-based agriculture such as rice cultivation, greenhouse horticulture, and livestock farming. Organizational forms are divided into stock companies and partnership companies based on the Companies Act, and agricultural cooperative corporations based on the Agricultural Cooperatives Act.
In order for an agricultural corporation to own farmland, it must meet certain requirements stipulated in the Agricultural Land Act, and corporations that meet these requirements are eligible to own farmland.
Requirements for a corporation eligible to own farmland
○Corporate form requirements ○Business requirements ○Membership/voting rights requirements ○Officer requirements
If a corporation intends to own (buy or sell) farmland in order to operate agriculture, it must meet the above requirements.
Since the application is still considered to be difficult for those aiming to become new farmers, Renyo Guohong will utilize its experience to provide advice to new farmers and companies aiming to become agricultural corporations.
