“…In particular, some researchers have highlighted that consumers' knowledge increases the risk perception of foreign products (Orth and Firbasova 2003) and that label information represents a very important issue for ethnocentric consumers as they consider local or COO products safer, healthier or better than non-domestic products (Lewis and Grebitus 2016). On the other hand, a low knowledge level also induces consumers not to buy foreign products and increases their ethnocentrism, as they prefer to purchase well-known local or COO products (Farah and Mehdi 2021).…”

“…This highlights that cultural background and individual values play a key role in ethnocentrism, especially in a more and more globalized market (Sharifonnasabi et al 2020). Farah and Mehdi (Farah and Mehdi 2021) affirm that, among individual factors, animosity positively affects consumer ethnocentrism. According to these authors, in fact, the hate towards other groups for cultural, historical, political or economic factors makes consumers more ethnocentric, and it often flows into forms of nationalism or patriotism.…”

“…The importance of COO labelling is also reported by Van Loo and colleagues (Van Loo et al 2019) who affirm that in higher consumer ethnocentrism, greater is attention paid to product information by US cheese consumers. Conversely, consumers often avoid buying foreign products when they do not have sufficient information about them (Farah and Mehdi 2021). Moreover, some studies (Fernández-Ferrín et al 2020;Bianchi and Mortimer 2015), have shown that consumer ethnocentrism can vary among different regions of the same country and that it has a strong influence in purchasing local or regional products, because consumers want to support local economy.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has upset everyone’s normal daily activities, generating psychiatric disorders and changing consumers’ preferences. Among others, the agri-food sector has experienced strong changes and, during the lockdown period, Italian consumers modified their purchasing habits in response to the fear and uncertainty generated by the spread of the virus. In order to find out the main consequences of the shock suffered during the period and to understand which factors have affected purchasing choices, an online survey was conducted on 286 Italian consumers. The results show that ethnocentrism has been the factor that most has influenced consumers’ behavior during the lockdown period and that consumers will continue to prefer national agri-food products when pandemic will be over, constituting a deep change to future eating habits.

“…Animosity refers to hostility directed towards specific communities due to historical, economic, political, or cultural circumstances, among other things. Animosity might also result from two nations sharing a border [ 84 ]. Cui, et al [ 85 ] found that when customer animosity was high, global companies utilized price-related marketing techniques (lower the price and give a discount) to counteract the negative effect of animosity by the consumers trade-off between animosity and price.…”

In this research, we debate the critical challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic such as food scarcity, by examining the influence of consumption values on consumers’ willingness to consume genetically modified (GM) food in the presence of consumer food attitudes, animosity, and ethnocentrism, which could be the one possible option to deal with the food scarcity problem. The proposed relationship could help to understand the complex societal problem of food scarcity and import dependency in the food sector before and after the crisis. Therefore, based on the theory of consumption values, we investigated government actions, consumer attitudes, and their willingness to consume GM food through 1340 valid USA responses and 1065 Chinese responses. We observed that COVID-19 doubled the number of malnourished people in 2020 relative to 2019, while consumption values, to some extent, changed consumer food attitudes and were inclined toward other food alternatives such as GM food regardless of governmental support for GM food in both USA and China. Moreover, this research enables governments, policymakers, market practitioners, and other stakeholders to use the COVID-19 crisis as an opportunity to negotiate with other countries to share their food technology along with imports.

“…The concept of food nationalism has seen significant growth in recent years, which is reflected in several new publications in this area (e.g. Skallerud & Wien 2019; Ichijo 2020; Jönsson 2020; Farah & Mehdi 2021). The emphasis of recent publications on food nationalism is focused particularly on the application of the concept itself to selected countries, such as Bulgarian yoghurt (Nancheva 2019), the Slovenian ‘potica’, or nut roll, (Tominc & Vezovnik 2019) and Taiwan tea (Hung & Lien 2020), in shaping the national identity.…”

In a rapidly globalising world, food nationalism has been the subject of research in many fields. The paper discusses food nationalism, in relation to the social and spatial aspects of consumers' shopping behaviour. According to the results of a two-step cluster analysis, food nationalism has no significant relationship with permanent residence of consumers. Economic status, however, was the only factor to demonstrate a statistically significant relationship between consumers and food nationalism. Compared to unemployed people and pensioners, employed people and entrepreneurs show significantly higher levels of food nationalism. In the study, the assumption that consumers who prefer quality will visit stores with a higher share of domestic food was not confirmed. In contrast, a marginally significant relationship was found between consumer preference for quality and support for domestic producers.
