“…In particular, large-scale retailers offer the widest and most varied range of products. The goat assortment included over-the-counter products, where it is also possible to find high quality products even of mainly industrial origin, and over-the-counter products where it is possible to choose products more oriented to the modem consumer, linked, for example, to the practicality of use (packaged products) [37,38]. Specialized shops respond to consumers who are willing to pay more than the average price at the other types of sales channels for products belonging to producers who have been established for years as the sector’s elite, although they do not have production volumes that allow them to deal with large-scale retailers [39].…”

An analysis of goat dairy-based product assortment was carried out in the metropolitan area of Turin (Northwestern Italy), considering three different sales channels: large-scale retail chains, retail stores, and direct sales in farmers’ markets (FMs). The survey results show a widespread presence of goat products in the Turin market. In each type of selected distribution channel, characterized by its own peculiarities, products differed both in terms of reference numbers and assortment; they were better in large-scale retail distribution, both in terms of quality and typicality, whereas specialized retail and direct sales were better equipped. Furthermore, given the importance of the sector at the regional level, we also focused, through the analysis of product origin, on the fact that local provenience increases from large-scale distribution to fully regional farmers’ markets. The mean price was different, being lower in direct sales at FMs, and medium to high and high at retail sales, as they are considered high quality niche products. The offer is correlated and in agreement with consumer targets (modern, ethical, and traditional), finding the "ideal" product in the different types offered, however, even if the results underline the potential of this sector, the fragmentation of the goat sector in Piedmont still represents a limit to expansion, and to the positioning of products in the market.

“…However, analyzing the results of the B-W clustering, we noticed that purchasers aged 18-25 considered price and brand the less important attribute. Young individuals (aged [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] considered the taste as an important attribute for milk choice, while the brand was considered positively by subjects aged over 65 and by those in the 36-45 range. Finally, purchasers over 65 and those belonging to the age range 36-45 especially considered the organic certification and the information on the label as not important for milk choice.…”

“…In the case of milk consumption, (16) showed that SD characteristics affect the choice of fresh and Ultra High Temperature (UHT) milk: in particular, it was found that consumers of UHT milk were younger, less well-off economically, but better educated than those of fresh pasteurized milk. At the same time, women in modern society are often responsible for food purchasing for the family, making choices oriented to guarantee the wellness and the security of children and considering, together, the product convenience (20). In these terms, women/mothers often make choices based on the evaluation of product brand and product nutritional quality and origin (21)(22)(23)(24).…”

Emerging new purchasing behaviors have been reflected in the sales trends of dairy products, mainly in cow milk consumption. This study aimed to investigate the preferences of milk purchasers toward different product attributes, by considering both individuals’ socio-demographic characteristics (SD) and milk purchasing habits (PH) as independent variables in the milk consumption model definition. To achieve this objective, a questionnaire was administered to a sample of 1,216 residents in Northwest Italy. The application of the Best-Worst scaling (BWS) methodology to define the purchasers’ declared preferences toward a set of 12 milk attributes, showed that milk origin and expiry date are the most important attributes for milk choice in the decision-making process. The correlation analysis showed that the SD and milk purchasing habits variables affect the definition of stated preferences heterogeneously between the intrinsic, extrinsic, and credence attributes.

Background: The present study was aimed to review the consumption pattern and health implications of convenience foods in regular life. The term 'Convenience food' is being widely used in the catering industry due to rapid progress in food technology. Consumption of convenience foods is inexorable in modern scenarios due to rapid urbanization, changing lifestyle, rising purchasing power and adaptation to western culture. Methods: A constructive review work was done from available data sources and available literatures. Results: The Indian ‘Ready-to-Eat (RTE)’ market reached at Rs 2900 crore and Rs 3500 crore in 2015 and 2016 respectively. RTE foods are growing at 40% per year. According to the World Health Organization, the trend towards surplus convenience foods provides the food industry with various commercial opportunities and profitable outcome for the food manufacturers. However, these foods are regarded as one of the least healthy dietary options, contributing to the health and diet-related diseases comparable to the risks associated with smoking, alcohol and drugs. Conclusion: Excessive consumption of convenience foods is one of the major factors for the higher incidence of obesity and other non-communicable diseases.
