Analysis of Consumers' Preferences and Price Sensitivity to Native Chickens

Abstract

This study analyzed consumers’ preferences and price sensitivity to native chickens. A survey was conducted from Jan 6 to 17, 2014, and data were collected from consumers (n=500) living in Korea. Statistical analyses evaluated the consumption patterns of native chickens, preference marketing for native chicken breeds which will be newly developed, and price sensitivity measurement (PSM). Of the subjects who preferred broilers, 24.3% do not purchase native chickens because of the dryness and tough texture, while those who preferred native chickens liked their chewy texture (38.2%). Of the total subjects, 38.2% preferred fried native chickens (38.2%) for processed food, 38.4% preferred direct sales for native chicken distribution, 51.0% preferred native chickens to be slaughtered in specialty stores, and 32.4% wanted easy access to native chickens. Additionally, the price stress range (PSR) was 50 won and the point of marginal cheapness (PMC) and point of marginal expensiveness (PME) were 6,980 won and 12,300 won, respectively. Evaluation of the segmentation market revealed that consumers who prefer broiler to native chicken breeds were more sensitive to the chicken price. To accelerate the consumption of newly developed native chicken meat, it is necessary to develop a texture that each consumer needs, to increase the accessibility of native chickens, and to have diverse menus and recipes as well as reasonable pricing for native chickens.

Understanding consumers' perceptions towards Iberian pig production and animal welfare

“…The breed or genetics can also influence the quality of meat and meat products (Alonso et al, 2015;Plastow et al, 2005) and its sensory acceptability to consumers (Meinert et al, 2008;Straadt et al, 2013). Breed might also influence the purchase of meat products (Lee et al, 2017). Despite that, information about the breed is not always available.…”

Effects of Storage Temperatures and Times on Drying Chicken Breasts Using Film‐Drying: A New Application of Polymeric Film for Food Preservation

“…The mean weight loss of FDCB‐(−18) was 31.04, FDCB‐4 and FDCB‐18 were about 57.49 and FDCB‐28 and FDCB‐38 samples were about 62.60% for 15 days. These findings were higher than some of the conventional drying technology, including sun‐dried 53.85% [12], osmotically dried 50.34% [23], cold‐dried 39.85% [24] and vacuum‐dried 32% [9]. As indicated in Table 1, the samples' WHC decreased relative to the storage temperature and time on the first day.…”
