Baseline Scenario: KRW 172.2 billion ($118 million) required cumulatively by 2030

The baseline scenario assumes continuation of the current policy by supplying low-methane feed to eligible species and applying the existing subsidy scheme.

Eligible livestock:

• Hanwoo and beef cattle (6 months or older)

• Dairy cattle (12 months or older)

Subsidy structure:

• Hanwoo and beef cattle: KRW 25,000/per head/year ($17.16/per head/year)

• Dairy cattle: KRW 50,000/per head/year ($34.32/per head/year)

Enhanced Scenario: KRW 551.2 billion ($378 million) required cumulatively by 2030

The enhanced scenario estimates the maximum budget requirements by expanding both the eligible species of lowmethane feed and the subsidy.

Eligible livestock:

• All Hanwoo, beef cattle, and dairy cattle

Subsidy structure:

• KRW 30 per kilogram of feed ($0.02 per kilogram of feed)

[Figure] Annual Budget Requirements by Scenario for Expanding Low-Methane Feed Supply (Baseline vs. Enhanced) (2026–2030)

Assuming the MAFRA allocates approximately KRW 1.72 billion this year for low-methane feed budget, the gap compared to the minimum budget needed in 2026 (approximately KRW 9.35 billion) is about KRW 7.63 billion.

Accordingly, the government should set the 2026 low-methane feed adoption target at a minimum of 10% and increase the 2026 budget by at least KRW 7.6 billion compared to 2025.
