Abstract

Background/Objectives: The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the differences between producers and experts based on consumers' perceptions of GM agricultural products. Methods/Statistical analysis: To this end, we analyzed how consumers, producers, and experts' perceptions differ with group-specific comparative analysis data on genetically modified agricultural products previously investigated. Findings: As a result of the analysis, it was found that consumers thought genetically modified agricultural products and foods were generally harmful to the human body compared to producers and experts, and fear was also great. When analyzing consumers' perception of whether a genetically modified food labeling system is needed through additional analysis, consumers think it should be marked on the product through a genetically modified food labeling system, but they usually purchase it without checking whether it is marked. Improvements/Applications: Through comparative analysis of consumer perception, a strategic plan for changing consumer perception was proposed along with institutional supplementation of the genetic modification labeling system in the future.
