Abstract

This study was carried out to find consumers' attributes and willingness to pay(WTP) of agricultural products cultivated from plants factory system. The agricultural products were sorted into lettuce, strawberry, Ligularia fischeri(wild edible greens), and ginseng. We made the questionaires to survey consumers' purchasing attributes and preference of agricultural products. Finally, 200 valid replies were selected to analyze consumers' attributes and to estimate marginal willingness to pay. We used conjoint analysis and multinomial logit model for empirical analysis. MWTPs of commodities are estimated as follows; Lettuce is 1,016KW(100g), Strawberry is 6,014KW(2kg), Ligularia fischeri is 3,652KW(100g), and Ginseng is 5,905KW(100g). Several attributes of consumers' purchasing behavior were identified from this study. We suggested several implications to formulate more appropriate policy of plants factory system.

이 연구는 식물공장 시스템으로부터 재배된 농산물에 대한 소비자 선호속성과 지불의향을 파악하기 위해 수행되었다. 식물공장 시스템으로부터 재배되는 농산물은 상추, 딸기, 곰취, 인삼으로 구분하였다. 우리는 소비자의 구매행태와 선호를 조사하기 위해 설문지를 구성하고, 선호분석과 한계지불의사액(MWTP) 추정을 위해 최종적으로 200여개의 타당한 응답을 선택하여 분석에 이용하였다. 우리는 실증분석을 위해 컨조인트 분석과 다항로짓모형을 이용하였다. 품목별 지불의사액 추정결과, 상추 1,016원(100g), 딸기 6,014원(2kg), 곰취 3,652원(100g), 인삼 5,905원(100g)으로 나타났다. 몇몇 소비자 구매행태의 속성이 포착되어 제시되었고, 식물공장 시스템에 대한 보다 적절한 정책 수립을 위해 몇가지 정책적 함의가 제안되었다.
