“…With regard to labels and environmental impacts, Almendarez-Hernández et al (2017) and Santeramo et al (2017) found that there is a higher frequency of consumption for consumers who care about eco-labels and environmental issues. In fact, some studies suggest that consumers are willing to pay premiums for products labelled as certified according to the standards of Aquaculture Stewardship Council (Banovic et al, 2019;Bronnmann and Asche, 2017;Bronnmann and Hoffmann, 2018;Hinkes and Schulze-Ehlers, 2018), Marine Stewardship Council (Bronnmann and Asche, 2017;Bronnmann and Hoffmann, 2018;Chen et al, 2015;Wakamatsu and Miyata, 2017) or Naturland (Hinkes and Schulze-Ehlers, 2018), or labelled as produced with a more sustainable alternative process such as Integrated Multitrophic Aquaculture or Closed Containment Aquaculture (Yip et al, 2017). Concerning the appearance (freshness, presentation, etc), Almendarez-Hernández et al (2017), Can et al (2015), Hall and Amberg (2013), Kumar et al (2008) and Yousuf et al (2019) found similar results for fresh products, with higher consumer consumption rates than other presentations.…”

“…In addition, according to the literature, the origin of the product is also an important determinant for consumers' decisions on seafood, with consumers having a higher willingness to pay for domestic or local products than for imported products (Ankamah-Yeboah et al, 2019Ariji, 2010;Davidson et al, 2012;Fernández-Polanco et al, 2013;Hinkes and Schulze-Ehlers, 2018;Lim et al, 2018;Mauracher et al, 2013;Rudd et al, 2011;Stefani et al, 2012;Thong et al, 2015;Uchida et al, 2014;van Osch et al, 2019van Osch et al, , 2017Witkin et al, 2015).…”

“…On the other hand, lower importance is given to social and ethical issues. For example, in Germany, Hinkes and Schulze-Ehlers (2018) found that although consumers are willing to pay premiums for generic fair trade labels, they are willing to pay more for other certifications who focus more on environmental aspects such as the certifications by the Aquaculture Stewardship Council and Naturland.…”

Determinants of fishery and aquaculture products consumption at home in the EU28

Food Quality and Preference

The European Union (EU) is the world's largest market for fishery and aquaculture products (FAPs) in nominal terms. Given the importance of these products, EU authorities and policy-makers are continuously monitoring consumer preferences and attitudes, analysing whether or not the implementation of EU policies and regulations improves the market conditions. For example, the Eurobarometer (European Union, 2018a) surveyed 27,732 EU residents including a specific module to analyse the fishery and aquaculture EU market. In this study, the dataset is used to estimate Ordered Probit models using effects coding and their marginal effects to identify the main determinants of the frequency of FAPs at-home consumption. Results indicate that the highest probability to consume more frequently FAPs is related to considering that one of the main reasons for buying or eating fishery and aquaculture products is because they are healthy, while the highest probability to consume less frequently FAPs is related to consumers who do not understand at all the information accompanying the products. Similarly, other important reasons for consuming FAPs more frequently are their good taste and low relative price. Also, results indicate a higher frequency of consumption of FAPs for those consumers who are over 55 years of age, are wealthy, have a wild product preference, live in a household of 3 persons or more and are very satisfied with their lives. To our best knowledge, there is not a similar approach in the current literature that considers such an extensive sample which is representative of all the countries that conform the EU28. Results provide valuable information especially for producers and authorities in terms of marketing and policy analysis.

“…Peri [13] proposed a model identifying the various food quality requirements consumers look for in food products. Especially psychological requirements, i.e., production context and ethical rules, respond to a mainly emotional need but take on a central role when consumers question the meaning of sustainability in the agro-food sector [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22].…”

The Millennials’ Concept of Sustainability in the Food Sector

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The aim of this study is to analyze the perception of the meaning of sustainability in the food sector. A sample of 268 University students belonging to the Millennial generation was identified and a survey was carried out to assess the interaction between this kind of Millennials and food sustainability. Collected data were explored with descriptive statistics, followed by multivariate statistical techniques to get an integrated vision of relationships among the variables. Outcomes evidence four groups of Millennials with specific peculiarities, i.e., “Socio-Nature Sensitives”, characterized by a high level of attention for the socio-economic dimension and sustainable ways of food production; “Info-Supporter”, very sensitive to labeling and warranty systems; “Proactive-Oriented”, interested in innovative activities; “Indifferent Millennials”, assigning the issue in general a low level of importance. Results provide useful information and some contribution to public institutions and private stakeholders so as to implement new rules and new tools in the food sector, so as to reach the target of reducing waste and pollution. Substantial literature on interaction between Millennials and sustainability in the food sector has not yet been developed; the aim of this pioneer study is to offer some contribution to the debate among stakeholders on driving choices towards new consumption rules and production patterns.

“…Some researchers studied consumers' preferences for domestic and imported food in Japan, Finland, Italy, South Korea, Germany, the United States, etc. The results show that consumers in developed countries prefer domestic food to imported food [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. While Nuttavuthisit and Thøgersen [29] and Thøgersen et al [30] noted that compared with consumers in developed countries, consumers in less developed countries prefer imported food produced in developed countries.…”

Consumers’ Willingness to Pay for Imported Milk: Based on Shanghai, China

Against the backdrop of the continuous large-scale growth of imported milk in China, in this research 310 consumers in Shanghai were used as a sample, and a choice experiment was conducted to study consumer preference and willingness to pay for imported milk. The following product attributes were included: nutrition claim, fat content, flavor, country of origin, and price. Our results show that, excepting price, consumers consider flavor the most important attribute, followed by nutrition claim, fat content, and country of origin. Consumers can be delineated into four segments based on consumer preference for the attributes of imported milk: "nutrition claim seekers" are willing to pay the highest price for imported milk with nutrition claims, "indifferent" consumers pay little attention to imported milk attributes, "flavor-oriented" consumers have a strong preference for strawberry-flavored imported milk, and "price-sensitive" consumers weigh the price when choosing imported milk.
