This study aimed at elementary, middle, and high school dietitians who purchase ingredients for school meals. Therefore, for the study, the awareness and usage of nutritional information by 108 teachers and dieticians on 5 hazard-free meals using multivariate analysis of variance were investigated during May 18~21, 2021. Among the five questions that asked the general perceptions of school meal dietitians of 5 hazard-free meals, the perception that the "5 hazard-free foods can be easily distinguished" was the lowest. Problems were associated with using the 5 hazard-free meals such as "expensive price," "no variety in items," "disruption in the supply and demand," "inconsistent quality," and "lack of taste," in that order. Therefore, to improve 5 hazard-free school meal service, it is necessary to not only lower the price burden by providing subsidies to schools but also improve the development and distribution structure of various 5 hazard-free foods.

This study was conducted to provide basic data for product development and marketing strategies for the Thai home meal replacement (HMR) market, to reflect the changing trends in household sizes in Thailand. The results of analyzing the characteristics and differences of HMR consumption behavior between single-person households and multi-person households in Thailand were as follows: It was found that single-person households use HMR to save money and for the convenience in cooking and preparation. In the preference by HMR type, multi-person households showed a higher preference for all types of products than single-person households. Thai consumers, regardless of their household size, mainly use department stores and large shopping malls to purchase HMR, and they most prefer to get information through Internet advertisements. The shelf life, quality, taste, hygiene, and freshness of HMR were the main considerations for their selection. Based on the results of this study, the Thai market requires the development of HMR products that are reasonable in terms of cost and preparation time. In addition, it is necessary to develop products that can satisfy consumer needs, such as nutritional enhancement and therapeutic foods, products that are organic, eco-friendly, cater to various menus, and address the premium segment.

This study is performed to examine the meal management attitudes of housewives who had elementary schoolchildren in the remote rural areas(RA: n = 318, $37.2{\pm}0.3$ years of age) in comparison to those in their vicinity urban area(UA: n = 349, $36.9{\pm}0.2$ years of age) in the Chungnam province in Korea. The subjects were asked to fill out the questionnaire on their attitudes of meal management for their families. The results obtained in this study were as followings: (1) Most husbands of the subjects had a farming job in the RA while they had salaried workers in the UA(p<0.001). Education levels of both subjects and their husbands were lower in the RA than in the UA. Nuclear families were dominated by both groups, however single parent-family and step parent-family were more prevalent in the RA than in the UA. (2) in terms of ways of getting foods such as grains, meats, eggs, vegetables and fruits, the RA housewives relied more often on self-production than did the UA housewives(p<0.001). (3) The frequency of purchasing unprocessed foods was lower in the RA than in the UA(p<0.001). The RA housewives purchased the convenient foods such as instant noodles(p<0.05), ready to eatsoups(p<0.001), retort pouch foods(p<0.05) and instant teas(p<0.05) more frequently than did the UA housewives, while tuna, canned in oil(p<0.01), milk and their products(p<0.001), soybean products(p<0.001) and snacks(p<0.01) were purchased less often by the RA housewives. (4) Family members except housewives engaged more often in meal preparation in the RA than did those in the UA(p<0.001), which was more strongly observed for dinner. The time spent in preparing the dinner was shorter in the RA than in the UA(p<0.001). (5) The degrees of endeavor to provide the subjects' offspring with balanced meal(p<0.001) and nutrition education(p<0.01) were lower in the RA than in the UA. The RA housewives had more difficulty for performing meal management because of 'over work-related fatigue', 'insufficient money to purchase foods' and 'far distance from grocery' than the UA housewives(p<0.001). The RA housewives had lower score on nutritional knowledge(p<0.001) and wanted more strongly nutritional knowledge to improve the quality of family's meal than did the UA housewives(p<0.01). Therefore, the RA housewives had various problems regarding meal management such as 'over work related to fatigue', 'food-purchasing inconvenience', 'low economic status of family' and 'lack of nutritional knowledge'. As a consequence the RA housewives relied on cheap convenient foods more often in order to prepare the meal easily than did the UA housewives. These findings emphasize the need in the RA for nutrition education for housewives and a range of nutrition policies that focus upon the social and economic determinants of food choice within families to improve the nutritional status of the RA residents.

Conditions of farm crop switching are affected by several important external factors such as agricultural products import opening, policy support, and climate change. Farming environment is always changing; barriers to imports are becoming lower and lower because of FTA and others, and climate change affects a boundary line of cultivation. Those situations give farmers motivation to change crops in order to cope with them. In addition, crop switching has been done in response to the local government measures about purchase of local agricultural products according to the local food and the expansion of organic agricultural products in school meal. Even though the favorable environment toward crop switching has been created, there are not many researches or outcomes regarding crop switching. Only few studies focus on the list of decision-making in crop switching, and locally suitable crop selection is not treated. In order to utilize crop switching as a farm management strategy, the proper frame should be studied and practical researches on application possibility also need. Therefore, study on crop switching is in a timely, proactive manner because farms catch the chance of expansion of school meal by changing crops. This paper applies HERO model used for venture foundation process to crop switching process. Success factors of HERO model are comprised of Habitate, Entrepreneurship, Resource, and Opportunity, and these phased application factors are applied to crop switching process. By doing so, each phase success factor of crop switching can be uncovered. Three farm organizations supplying organic agricultural products to schools are studied in Gyeonggi province. As a result, the stabilization stage cannot be achieved because of the habitate conditions and social conditions with low risk bearing of crop switching and current school meal systems are the main problems to block the diversification of risks. In order to succeed in crop switching, constructing the habitate in local districts or in systems of school meal is more effective than supporting each farm.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The consumption of home meal replacement (HMR) is increasing among college students in Korea and China. In particular, Chinese college students studying abroad in Korea (CSK) show changes in their dietary behavior after migration, and HMR consumption for meal substitution is also increasing. This study was conducted to compare the HMR consumption behaviors and HMR development needs of CSK, Chinese college students in China (CSC), and Korean college students in Korea (KSK). SUBJECTS/METHODS: The subjects were 570 college students (180 CSK, 200 CSC, and 190 KSK) who had experience of HMR consumption. Data were collected by face-to-face survey in 2019 and analyzed using SPSS 25.0. RESULTS: The majority of the subjects purchased HMR to 'saving time' and 'preventing meal skipping'. Average purchase price per HMR was about 5,000 won for the CSK and KSK, and about 3,000 won for the CSC. The most important attributes when selecting HMR for the CSK and CSC were hygiene, freshness, and taste in that order, while for the KSK were taste, price, and hygiene. Rice was preferred by the KSK while grilled and fried dishes were preferred by the CSK and CSC. In terms of development needs, dessert and meat-based side dishes were highest in all three groups. The preferred food materials for more than 50% of the subjects of all groups were beef, chicken, pork, shrimp, and squid, and spinach and Chinese cabbage in the CSK, and onion in the KSK. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows more effort is needed to develop the healthy customized HMR for college students studying in Korea and China, and that focuses are placed by CSK on hygiene and freshness, by CSC on meat side dishes, hygiene, and price, and by KSK on snacks (as meal substitutes), taste, and price.

본 연구의 목적은 홍콩 소비자를 대상으로 가정식사대용식(HMR, Home Meal Replacement) 제품의 소비실태와 HMR 제품 개발 요구도를 파악하고, 식생활 라이프스타일에 따른 HMR 시장세분화 전략을 제시하고자 하였다. 홍콩 전문기관에 등록된 패널 중 가정식사대용식을 이용한 경험이 있는 소비자 521명을 대상으로 온라인 설문조사를 통해 수집된 자료를 SPSS(ver. 23.0) 통계 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 홍콩 소비자의 식생활 라이프스타일에 따른 군집별 HMR 구입 특성은 HMR 유형별 구매횟수, 구매장소, 1회 구매 시 비용, 구매이유 등 모든 항목에서 집단 간 유의적인 차이를 나타냈다. 식생활 라이프스타일에 따라 '식생활 고관심 집단', '식생활 중관심 집단', '식생활 저관심 집단'으로 군집을 나누었으며, HMR 제품 개발 요구도는 '식생활 고관심 집단'은 저염 식품> 발열식 편의식> 저당 식품> 저칼로리 식품 순으로, '식생활 중관심 집단'은 저염 식품> 저당 식품> 저칼로리 식품> 영양적 완전식품 순으로, '식생활 저관심 집단'은 저당 식품> 저염 식품> 다양한 신메뉴> 휴대가 간편한 건조식품 순으로 집단 간 차이를 보여주었다. 군집별 '식생활 고관심 집단'은 남성의 비율이 높았고 연령대로는 20~29세의 젊은 층이며, 직업은 사무 관리직과 기혼의 비율이 높았다. HMR 구매 시 1회 비용은 15,000~20,000원 미만이 가장 높게 조사되었다. '식생활 중관심 집단'은 여성과 남성의 비율이 비슷하게 나타났으며, 연령대로는 30~39세, 기혼의 비율이 높게 나타났다. HMR 구매 시 1회 비용으로는 10,000원 미만과 10,000~15,000원대의 중 저가격대를 구매하는 것으로 나타났다. '식생활 저관심 집단'은 여성과 미혼 그리고 사무 관리직의 비율이 높았으며, HMR 구매 시 1회 비용은 10,000원 미만의 비율이 가장 높아 상대적으로 다른 집단보다 저가의 HMR 제품을 구입하는 것으로 나타났다. 홍콩시장 진출을 위한 세분시장별 HMR 제품 개발 및 마케팅 전략을 제시하면 다음과 같다. '식생활 고관심 집단'은 식생활 관심이 높은 집단으로 시장세분화 전략의 집중과 투자가 이루어져야 할 집단으로 생각된다. HMR 제품 유형의 대안으로는 현재 홍콩 소비자들이 관심을 보이는 건강 웰빙에 주목하여 영양적인 면을 고려한 프리미엄급의 HMR 제품, 건강을 코드로 한 제품 개발이 필요하며, 식품안전관리인증기준(HACCP)에 근거한 식재료 선택의 진정성과 안전성까지 고려해야 할 것이다. '식생활 중관심 집단'은 안전과 건강을 중요시하며 HMR 제품의 미각 요인에 관심을 가지는 집단으로 맛에 중점을 둔 다양한 HMR 신제품의 출시가 필요하리라 생각된다. '식생활 저관심 집단'은 간편성과 편의성을 추구하는 집단으로 간편하여 추가적인 조리가 필요 없는 완성된 음식으로 시간을 절약할 수 있으며, 가격의 합리화가 이루어져야 할 것이다. 앞으로 HMR 제품의 방향은 건강을 코드로 하여 집에서 만드는 것과 같은 맛과 정성까지 고루 갖추며, 편의성을 고려한 HMR 제품이 필요한 때이다. 이를 위해서는 유기농, 친환경 식재료를 사용하고 고객의 편리성을 극대화할 수 있도록 반조리 제품의 다양화가 필요할 것이다. 또한, 소량, 소포장, 12시간 이내에 소비자에게 배송되는 서비스, 바코드나 QR코드로 영양성분이나 조리법까지도 알 수 있는 서비스 등 간편과 웰빙을 추구하는 홍콩 소비자의 니즈를 반영한 HMR 제품의 출시에 기업과 정부의 지속적인 노력이 필요할 것으로 생각된다. 본 연구 결과는 HMR 제품 개발을 위한 마케팅 전략에 필요한 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이며, 수출용 HMR 제품 개발에 소비자의 니즈가 반영된 신제품의 방향을 제시하여 산업적 활용 전략을 구축하기 위한 시장세분화 전략에 기초 자료를 제공하고자 하였다.

Objectives: This study examined the problems encountered when analyzing the market size, purchase, and consumption of HMR (home meal replacements) in the Republic of Korea. Methods: The macro data relevant to the market size and purchase status of HMR were critically summarized. The micro data retrieved from the 2019 & 2020 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) were analyzed to understand the consumption of HMR. Results: The Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation and the Ministry of Food and Drug Administration reported the market size of HMR, whereas the Korean Rural Economic Institute and the Rural Development Administration reported the purchase expense and frequencies of HMR. Since the values on the market size and purchase status were calculated or surveyed using different scopes of HMR, there have been reliability issues for the data presented. Additionally, lack of consensus on the use of Korean terms corresponding to HMR was found to be a problem. To examine the consumption of HMR, analysis of the food intake data from KNHANES presented results with very low validity due to the inappropriate survey and coding scheme not reflecting the inclusion of new food types. Conclusions: Several problematic discrepancies were encountered in the statistics on HMR. The fundamental cause of these problems was the absence of agreement on the scope of HMR and the Korean terms corresponding to it. Considering the increasing importance of HMR in Korean diets, urgent cooperative efforts are required between the government and academia to derive an agreed Korean term and establish the scope of HMR.
