Abstract

The purpose of this study is to measure the agricultural product market efficiency of the three e-commerce platforms from the perspective of consumer price fairness perception, analyze the quality and price gap of invalid brands, and help agricultural products enterprises to formulate reasonable price strategies. The characteristics of farm products sold in e-commerce platforms(quality, origin, taste, safety level) were selected as output indicators and the prices of products were selected as input indicators to evaluate the efficiency of the market through DEA analysis. According to the analysis, JD mall has the largest proportion of effective brands, while YHD.com has the highest average market efficiency, and northeast rice has the largest difference in average efficiency among the three platforms. The results show that price inefficiencies still exist in the electronic market. The development of online market for agricultural products should pay attention to consumer price fairness and pay attention to the coordination between price and quality. The limitation of this paper is that it does not focus on the influence of words of mouth marketing in internet market and consumer experience, which can be the future research direction.

본 연구의 목적은 중국 3대 전자상거래 플랫폼의 농산물 시장 효율성을 소비자 가격 공정성 인식의 관점에서 측정하고, 비효율적 브랜드의 품질과 가격 차이를 분석하여 농산물 판매 기업이 합리적인 가격 전략을 수립할 수 있도록 하기 위함이다. 본 연구에서는 전자상거래 플랫폼에서 판매되는 농산물의 특성(품질, 원산지, 맛, 안전성 수준)을 산출 지표로 하고, 제품 가격을 투입 지표로 선정하여 DEA 분석을 통해 시장의 효율성을 평가하였다. 분석 결과 효율적 브랜드의 비중은 JD몰이 가장 높고, YHD.com은 평균 시장 효율이 가장 높았으며, 동북 쌀은 3개 플랫폼에서 평균 효율성 차이가 가장 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 가격 비효율성이 여전히 전자 시장에 존재한다는 것을 보여준다. 농산물 온라인 시장의 발전을 위해서는 소비자 가격공정성에 주의하고 가격과 품질의 조화를 중시해야 한다. 이 논문의 한계점은 인터넷 시장에서 소비자 경험에 의한 입소문 마케팅의 영향력에 초점을 맞추지 않았다는 점이며, 이는 향후 연구 과제이다.
