천일염 생산량 관리 방안에 관한 연구

Abstract

This study is to examine the policy alternatives for stabilizing the price of solar salt by analyzing the reason why the price of solar salt is falling steadily. The price of solar salt should be stabilized to promote the development of the solar salt industry and to improve the quality of life of production household. Variables affecting the production price of solar salt are represented by inventory levels, and inventory levels are determined by the difference between production and sales volume. As a result of analysis, the price decline was mainly caused by the decrease of demand for salt influenced by factors such as the spread of low salt culture, the decline of kimchi culture, changes in Korean food culture, and sodium reduction policy. Therefore, in order to stabilize the price of solar salt, the production volume can not but be reduced. Ways to reduce the production of solar salt include a production quota system, shortening of the production period, implementation of a solar salt self-management system and a reduction of production area. Meanwhile, in order for production cuts to bring about price stability, the markets for solar salt and imported salt must be separated. This will be possible through the expansion of a solar salt traceability system and an origin indication system.
