Abstract

The objective of this study is to estimate the relative importance of food labelling on organic and country-of-origin of tofu. The relative importance of three Tofu attributes shows that the country-of-origin is the most important and an organic labelling and price are followed in order. The result is that if two attributes, an organic labelling and the country-of-origin are taken into account, organic soybeans produced in Korea gets the highest value and non-organic soybeans produced in Korea, organic soybeans produced in USA, and others are followed in order. For respondents who have children under 6 years or under 18 years, the importance of an organic labelling increased compared to those whose children do not fall into that age. The results of this study show that the country of origin, especially domestically produced products, is more importantly recognized than the organic labeling to consumers.
