다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In Korea, the government introduced the 6th industrialization policy for the agricultural sector in 2013, to increase farmers’ incomes and the value-added of agricultural products.
Although some research has been done on the 6th industrialization of agriculture, the relationship between the level of consumers’ awareness and the 6th industrialization of agriculture has not yet been discussed. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effect of consumers’ awareness levels on the development of the 6th industrialization of agriculture.
The results of a survey and seemingly unrelated bivariate probit model present the following findings: an increased consumers’ awareness of the 6th industrialization of agriculture positively affects the agricultural sector. More particularly, it was found that consumers who agree that the 6th industrialization increases farmers’ income and creates value-added agricultural products will also have an optimistic prospect for a successful 6th industrialization. In addition, consumers who like to experience agro-tourism type activities give higher scores to the infrastructure level of the 6th industrialization. Consumers who think that production section should take lead the 6th industrialization of the agricultural sector will also have an optimistic prospect for a successful 6th industrialization. However, consumers who think that farmers or farmers’ organizations, should take lead the 6th industrialization have a more pessimistic prospect for a successful 6th industrialization.
Consumers who got information on the 6th industrialization from the internet think that the infrastructure of the 6th industrialization is not good enough.
