Regionální agrární komora Jihočeského kraje (RAK JK)

The regional agrarian chamber of the South Bohemian Region, working under Act No. 301/1992 as the regional level of the Agrární komora ČR (AK ČR). It brings together the region's 7 district agrarian chambers (České Budějovice, Český Krumlov, Prachatice, Strakonice, Písek, Tábor, Jindřichův Hradec). It also runs the regional information centre (KIS), which informs and advises farmers on the Common Agricultural Policy, subsidies and legislation. It is for agricultural, forestry, fishery and food businesses.

Membership is voluntary (zákon č. 301/1992 Sb. § 5 odst. 3). Any natural or legal person running an agricultural, forestry, fishery or food business in the South Bohemian Region can join. You join through your district agrarian chamber; the district chambers are members of AK ČR, so you also belong to the AK ČR network. KIS information is available without membership.
