South Korean Agricultural Cooperatives Add 22 PF Projects to Auction List in H1 2026, Valuations Hit 1.4 Trillion Won

According to the PF Disclosure Platform, as of June 30, 2026, South Korean regional agricultural cooperatives have 64 project finance (PF) sites designated for sale or public auction. In the first half of 2026 alone, 22 new sites were added to the liquidation list, bringing the total to more than seven times the initial 9 sites disclosed in January 2025.

The combined appraised value of all agricultural cooperative PF sites under liquidation reached 1.4378 trillion won, compared to approximately 330 billion won in January 2025—a 4.3-fold increase. The sector now accounts for approximately 12 percent of all PF projects under liquidation. Meanwhile, savings banks have reduced their auction sites from over 90 to 31 in the same period, demonstrating faster disposal progress through coordinated normalization efforts.
