굴양식업의 구조변화에 따른 재편 방향

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the characteristics of structural changes in oyster farming, and to explore the current issues and direction of restructuring. The oyster farming industry has grown rapidly since the 1970s, but production has plummeted since the late 1980s and stagnated until the 1990s. Since then, production has recovered, but since 2010, production has been increasing and decreasing year by year. At present, the immediate problem in the oyster farming industry is that the volatility of oyster production has stagnated or become serious. Second, it is becoming difficult to secure a stable labor force. Third, oyster consumption is shrinking due to changes in social structure and food consumption trends. Fourth, oyster safety is constantly occurring. Fifth, oyster farming is highly dependent on exports, but export countries and export items are limited. In order to improve the competitiveness of the oyster farming industry, the first step is to eliminate the overcrowding of oyster farming facilities, secure artificial seedlings, improve aquaculture methods, and switch to other aquaculture varieties. Second, we will discover new demand targets through high-quality product development and product promotion. Third, in order to ensure the hygiene and safety of oysters, we will establish a hygiene and safety management system from the harvesting stage to the distribution and consumption stage. Fourth, we should explore new markets through overseas market research and consumption trends related to oysters, development of advanced processing and health functional products.
