Per capita fruit consumption has been stagnant since 2000, while the consumption of imported fruits has increased at an annual average of 3.6%. With this backdrop, this study aims to identify fruit consumption patterns and characteristics of consumption trends and analyze the current state of domestic fruit production and processing by using quantitative data on fruit consumption, and present short-term and medium- and long-term countermeasures of the fruit industry in accordance with the fruit consumption trends. It is necessary to produce sweeter fruits, discuss shipping dates considering quality, and develop products in small packets in the short term, and to diversify products and varieties, develop and disseminate varieties suitable for consumption trends, and separate production systems by consumption uses in the medium and long term. Also, various processed fruit products should be developed in consideration of convenience of intake and purchase and portability. |
