“…very often. This equivalence has been applied in previous studies (Escribá-Pérez et al, 2017). The ANOVA was carried out both for households with and without children under 18 yr of age, and in households in which minors consumed and did not consume rabbit meat.…”

<p>The nutritional and dietary properties of rabbit meat make it an ideal food for children, recommended by the World Health Organisation. However, the presence of children under 18 in the home has been found to decrease the frequency of rabbit meat consumption. If we focus on households with children under 18, 52.5% of minors do not consume rabbit meat. The main reason why children (intended as people under 18 yr old) do not consume rabbit meat is the fact that they do not like it (40.9%) and because it is not bought/eaten at home (30.9%). Faced with this situation, there is a pressing need to seek appropriate strategies to adapt rabbit meat for consumption by the youngest family members. In light of the results, the following strategies are proposed. First, the development of functional foods for babies and children, such as rabbit meat enriched with ω3 and docosahexaenoic acid. Secondly, improving meat tenderness. Third, adapting rabbit meat presentations for children (burgers, nuggets, sausages, marinades …), converting them into convenience products for parents and extending their shelf life. Fourth, adapting the labelling/packaging for children to attract attention of both parents and offspring. Finally, developing communication strategies on the nutritional value of rabbit meat aimed at both children and parents. It is observed that if minors consume rabbit meat, they also eat other types of meat such as lamb and beef more often. Therefore, in this type of households a varied and complete diet is consumed in terms of meat consumption, so it would be necessary to rethink joint communication strategies among the three meat sectors. Promoting rabbit meat consumption among the under 18s has several consequences, as in the future they will be in charge of household purchases or share this responsibility.</p>

“…A food-related lifestyle comprises of five cognitive categories, namely: ways of shopping; quality aspects for evaluating food products; cooking methods; consumption situations; and purchasing motives. The FRL approach appears to be a very useful way of segmenting food consumers (Bernués et al, 2012;Escriba-Perez et al, 2017;Ripoll et al, 2015;Sorenson et al, 2011;Thøgersen, 2017;Torrissen and Onozaka, 2017), and to the best of our knowledge, there are no published studies on the meat consumption of Kosovar consumers that use this method. Thus, this study aims to: (i) describe Kosovar consumers' characteristics, attitudes and preferences related to meat products; (ii) segment consumer groups according to their food related lifestyle; and (iii) provide insight information about Kosovar consumers' preferences for meat and suggest possible strategies for policy makers, the food industry and the marketer.…”

Attitudes and preferences of Kosovar consumers towards quality and origin of meat Quality and safety are important attributes for consumers in developed and transitional countries such as Kosovo. This study aims to examine Kosovar consumers' characteristics, attitude and preferences towards meat as well as to provide meat consumer profiling using a descriptive analysis together with the Food-Related Lifestyle approach. We drew a sample of 300 Kosovar consumers by means of intercept sampling in Prishtina, Prizren and Gjilan. Results suggest that Kosovar consumers perceive country of origin (COO), especially domestic origin, as an indicator of quality and safety for meat. Two consumer profiles were identified through segmentation analysis: conservative and innovative food consumers. The innovative food consumer is the most interesting target segment for Kosovar meat. There is potentially a market for meat products bearing food safety and origin labels. Therefore, private operators could consider the use of safety certification labels to signal to consumers that their products are safer than common products. The paper concludes by discussing the implications of our findings for businesses and policy makers regarding domestic meat promotion strategies.

“…Meat consumption patterns are unpredictable due to constant changes in consumer behaviour towards meat and other food products [11]. For consumers to willingly purchase and consume a particular meat product, their perceptions of it must be positive [12].…”

“…If consumers have a negative perception of any meat product, their purchasing behaviour will be affected negatively [12]. Besides the price of the product, factors such as appearance, convenience, and perceived quality as well as safety [19,20], social, individual, economic, and cultural aspects influence decisions made in the market place [11]. Hence, consumers are leaning towards food products that benefit their well-being.…”

Perceptions of Rural Consumers on the Aspects of Meat Quality and Health Implications Associated With Meat Consumption

et al. 2017

This study was conducted to determine the perceptions of rural low-income consumers on meat quality and health issues associated with meat consumption. A total of 466 consumers in the Eastern Cape (EC) Province (South Africa (SA)) were randomly sampled, and principal component analyses (PCA) were used to analyse the data. With regard to purchasing decisions, correlation analysis was performed to establish the relationships between actual scores and mean scores so as to determine purchase motives and decisions. The major purchase point mentioned by all consumers was the supermarket (65%), and the reasons were that this purchase point was the most hygienic and the meat was fresh (35%). The estimated relationship showed a significant association between products consumed at home and the source of income of consumers. With regard to consumption patterns and health issues, most consumers were aware of nutritional balance issues (64%), and most were aware of the health risks associated with meat consumption (59%). It was concluded that consumer perceptions on the meat quality aspects associated with health and consumption patterns are affected by disposable income and cultural background.
