The potential market for single-ribbed bellies and Boston butts in South Korea was characterized and quantitative selection criteria were identified for use by U.S. packers when selecting pork for export. South Korean retail meat market managers and traders/wholesalers in Seoul and Pusan were interviewed and asked to identify the quality attributes that are considered when making pork-purchasing decisions. In addition, pork labeling characteristics and meat display case measurements and space allocations were recorded in each retail store. Data from box labels were recorded in retail storage coolers to characterize pork products currently being merchandized in South Korea. Sample retail packages of belly and butt slices were collected and sent to a commercial laboratory for analysis of iodine values, ether-extractable fat content, total aerobic plate count (APC), total coliform count (TCC), and generic Escherichia coli count (ECC). No quality attributes of U.S. products exceeded the expectations of retailers. Quality attributes of U.S. pork products that exceeded the expectations of traders included presence of foreign material, marbling, tenderness, juiciness, flavor, and overall eating satisfaction. Traders/wholesalers assigned negative ratings for overall workmanship and adherence to purchase criteria for U.S. pork products. Retail APC for South Korean belly samples were higher (P < 0.05) than APC for U.S. belly samples. Retail TCC and ECC for butts and belly samples and APC for butt samples did not differ by country of origin. Retail prices for South Korean bellies were higher (P < 0.05) than prices for retail U.S. and Danish bellies. Pork butt prices did not differ (P > 0.05) by country of origin. Beef, pork, and poultry products comprised 66.8, 27.8, and 5.4%, respectively, of the total meat display case frontage. U.S. beef products occupied, on average, 18% of the total beef display area, whereas U.S. pork products comprised 2.6% of the total pork display case area.
对韩国单肋腹部肉和波士顿臀肉的潜在市场进行了特征分析，并确定了定量选择标准，供美国包装商在选择出口猪肉时使用。对韩国首尔和釜山的零售肉类市场经理以及贸易商/批发商进行了访谈，询问他们在做出猪肉采购决策时所考虑的质量属性。此外，还记录了每个零售商店的猪肉标签特征、肉类展示柜尺寸和空间分配情况。从零售储存冷藏库的箱标签上记录数据，以描述韩国目前正在销售的猪肉产品。收集了腹部和臀部切片的零售样品包，并送往商业实验室分析碘值、乙醚可提取脂肪含量、总需氧平板计数（APC）、总大肠菌群计数（TCC）和大肠埃希氏菌属通用计数（ECC）。美国产品的质量属性均未超出零售商的期望。超出贸易商期望的美国猪肉产品质量属性包括异物存在、大理石纹、嫩度、多汁性、风味和总体食用满意度。贸易商/批发商对美国猪肉产品的整体工艺和符合采购标准情况给予负面评价。韩国腹部样品的零售APC高于美国腹部样品（P < 0.05）。臀部和腹部样品的零售TCC和ECC以及臀部样品的APC在原产国之间没有差异。韩国腹部肉的零售价格高于美国和丹麦腹部肉的零售价格（P < 0.05）。猪肉臀部价格在原产国之间没有差异（P > 0.05）。牛肉、猪肉和家禽产品分别占肉类展示柜总正面面积的66.8%、27.8%和5.4%。美国牛肉产品平均占牛肉展示总面积的18%，而美国猪肉产品占猪肉展示柜总面积的2.6%。
