Abstract

Beef consumption trends are changing according to consumer needs and preferences. This study was conducted to collect the fundamental information by investigating the consumer's preference and purchase propensity of beef(Hanwoo beef) for improvement of Korean beef grading system. Consumers were recruited from Seoul, Gyeonggi-do, and 5 metropolitan cities, and surveyed from July 24 ~ August 14, 2017. The data obtained from 362 consumers were finally selected for the verification process. Results from the Hierarchical Regression Analysis reveal that the increased purchasing frequency is positively correlated with the following factors, in the consumer group showing preference in the Quality Grade (QG) of beef: marbling type 1QG, fat color 1+QG, and income, grade opinion, marbling contents and type 1++QG. Conversely, no factor affected the increased purchasing frequency in the consumer group having no preferred QG for beef (p>0.05). Our study determined significant differences in the factors affecting increased purchase frequency of beef among the different groups, classified depending on their preferred QG. The grading system is important since it directly correlates with profit for livestock farmers and the industry. We therefore propose that the grading criteria need to be revised reasonably but scientifically, considering various opinions of the producers and consumers.

쇠고기 소비트랜드는 소비자 요구와 선호도 등에 따라 변화하고 있다. 본 연구는 한우고기 구매 소비자를 대상으로 구매성향 및 선호도 조사를 통해 쇠고기 등급제 보완방향에 대한 기초자료를 수집하였다. 조사대상자는 2017년 7월 24일부터 8월 14일에 걸쳐 서울, 경기도 및 5대 광역시에 거주하는 소비자를 대상으로 조사를 수행하였고, 무응답 등을 제외하고 최종 362명 데이터를 분석에 이용하였다. 위계적 회귀분석 결과 1등급 선호집단의 구매빈도 증가에는 마블링 형태가, 1+등급에서는 지방색이, 1++등급에서는 소득, 등급제 개선 의견, 마블링 함량, 마블링 형태가 각각 정의 영향(+)을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 반면, 선호등급이 없는 집단에서는 구매빈도 증가에 영향을 미치는 변수는 없는 것으로 분석되었다. 종합적으로 살펴볼 때 구매빈도 증가에 영향을 미치는 변수들이 집단별로 다른 것으로 분석되었는데, 소도체 등급기준은 축산농가 및 산업체의 경제적 이익과 소비자 구매력에 직접적으로 연관되어 있어 매우 중요한 제도이기 때문에 생산자와 소비자 의견을 적절하게 반영하여 합리적이고 과학적인 방향으로 앞으로도 보완되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.
