Abstract

In this research, we performed a SWOT analysis to analyze the feasibility of cultivating tropical fruits in Korea, using the mango as a case study. The opportunities for domestic tropical fruit (mango) cultivation are that the domestic cultivation environment is improving due to global warming, the consumer market is expanding due to the increase in domestic demand, and some local governments are supporting the cultivation of tropical fruits as a new high-income crop. The strengths are that it is possible to produce high quality fresh fruits in Korea and that they are still distributed in small quantities, so they can be differentiated from imported ones. There are regular customers and the mango is recognized as a medicinally functional fruit. The threats are that the price competitiveness of imported goods is likely to be further strengthened due to the implementation of the FTA and that it is difficult to cope with the unpredictable climate changes, such as heavy snowfall and extremely cold weather. The weak points are that the initial investment cost is high, the operating costs such as heating bills are also very high, and there is no supply system for the chemicals, fertilizers and cultivation technology required for tropical fruits. In order for tropical fruits such as mangoes to become major fruits, we must make full use of these strengths and opportunities while, at the same time, complementing the weaknesses and eliminating the threats in the value chain.

본 연구는 SWOT 분석을 이용하여 망고 사례를 중심으로 국내 열대과일 재배의 타당성을 분석하였다. 국내 열대과일(망고) 재배의 기회 요인은 기후온난화로 국내 재배환경이 개선되었고, 국내 수요 증가로 소비시장이 확대되고 있으며, 일부 지자체에서 새로운 틈새작목으로 육성 및 지원하고 있다는 것이다. 그 외의 강점은 국내에서 신선한 고품질 상품 생산이 가능하고, 아직까지 소량 유통되어 수입산과 차별화되고, 국산 소비 매니아층이 형성되어 있으며, 약용 기능성 과일로 인식된다는 점이다. 위협 요인은 FTA 이행으로 수입산의 가격경쟁력이 더욱 강화되고, 폭설, 한파 등 이상기후로 인한 생산기반 약화가 우려된다는 것이다. 그 외의 약점은 초기 투자비용이 많이 투입되고, 광열비 등의 경영비 부담이 크고, 국내에 농약, 비료 등의 전문 농자재 공급체계와 재배기술 보급시스템이 부재하며, 판로 확보가 어렵다는 점이다. 망고를 비롯한 열대과일이 국내 과수산업의 한 축으로 성장하기 위해서는 이러한 강점과 기회 요인을 적극 활용하는 한편, '생산요소 투입-생산-가공 유통-판매'로 이어지는 가치사슬(value chain)의 각 단계별 약점을 보완하고 위협 요인에 대처해야 한다.
