Japanese Consumer Preference for $2^{nd}$ Generation Genetically Modified (GM) Food Products

일본 소비자들의 제2세대 유전자 변형 식품에 대한 선호도에 관한 연구

  • Published : 2009.02.28

Abstract

최근 유전자 변형 기술에 의해 제조된 식품에 대한 소비자들의 관심과 주의가 높아지고 유전자 변형 식품 생산과 판매는 국내는 물론 국제통상과 식품산업에 막대한 영향을 끼치고 있다. 본 연구는 이런 산업내의 변화에 맞추어 유전자 변형 기술에 의해 제조된 빵에 대한 일본 소비자들의 지각과 행동적 특성을 제시하는데 있다. 차별화된 유전자 변형에의 창출된 이익에 대한 일본 소비자들의 반응과 선택을 conjoint 분석을 사용하여 실증적으로 분석하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 유전자 변형 기술에 의해 창출되는 다양한 종류의 이익으로 차별화 된 GM 식품의 상품화의 실행 가능성을 평가하는데 있다. 연구 결과에 의하면 일본 소비자들은 유전자 변형에 의해 영양적 요소가 강화된 상품에 큰 관심을 보였고, 유전자 변형 식품이 주는 소비자 이익에 생산자 이익보다 높은 프리미엄을 지불할 의사가 있는 것으로 나타났다.
