吉里巴斯Tarawa島居民肉品消費偏好之研究

本論文以2007年家庭問卷調查資料分析位於中太平洋上吉里巴斯的首都塔拉瓦(Tarawa)的社經地位及人口組成影響肉品的偏好及消費。根據聯合國分類，吉里巴斯是世界上最貧窮及發展程度最低的國家之一。分析結果顯示在鄉村地區，其家庭的社經地位及組成，如家庭收入、家庭人數、戶長及妻子的教育程度、戶長年齡及性別、戶長及妻子的職業狀況會大幅影響肉類及其它肉品的消費。對較高收入的家庭，其收入增加時，則肉類產品的消費及支出也隨之提高。平均家庭人數約7人。大部分的受訪者(91%)表示糧食開銷通常約占家庭收入的23-30%。百分之六十的受訪者並不購買任何肉類或肉品。結果也顯示98％的人認為魚類是動物性蛋白質的優先來源。本研究推論若肉類價格維持不變，則消費模式會因收入及生活方式和生產、製程及銷售的發展而改變。吉里巴斯政府政策變動影響有效性及定價，也影響肉類及肉品的消費模式。

This thesis analyzes socioeconomic and demographic factors influencing the households' preferences and consumption of meat, poultry, in south Tarawa Island of Kiribati in the central Pacific by using 2007 household survey data. Kiribati was one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world according to United Nations classification. Results show that rural households' meat and other animal products consumption are highly influenced by socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of the households such as household income, sizes of household, education levels of head of households and wife, age and gender of household head, employment status of household head and wife. Increases in income received by higher-income households do increase their meat animal product consumption and expenditures. The average household size was 7 people. A very high percentage (91%) of interviewees stated that the amount they normally spend on food was around 20-30% of their household income. Sixty percent of respondents did not purchase any meat or meat products. Results also showed 98% are in agreement that fish is the most preferred source of animal protein. This research suggests that even if meat prices remained constant, consumption patterns would change with trends in incomes and lifestyles, and developments in production, processing, and distribution. Shifts in government policies influencing availability and pricing will also affect consumptions pattern of meat and other animal products in Kiribati.
