Factors that influence purchase intent and perceptions of genetically modified foods among Argentine consumers

Acceptance of nanotechnology applications and satisfaction with food-related life in southern Chile

“…Therefore, considering that the acceptance of new technologies applied to food production differs between developing countries (Mucci et al, 2004;De Steur et al, 2010), new research in developing countries from different regions of the world is necessary to confirm the results found here. Another limitation of this study is that the sample is not representative of the country's population distribution.…”

Acceptance of a food of animal origin obtained through genetic modification and cloning in South America: a comparative study among university students and working adults

“…For this reason, the study is conducted using two subsamples: working adults (WA) who represent current and medium-term acceptance, and university students (USt) who may tend to acceptance over a longer period, considering that young people search for new food experiences and become increasingly neophile, attempting to distinguish themselves from their parents' food-related values (Nørgaard et al, 2014). In line with previous studies, it is expected that WA will be less receptive to the two technologies than the USt (Mucci et al, 2004;Nayga et al, 2006;Rollin et al, 2011). Based on the make-up of this sample, it is expected that differences will be detected according to the knowledge of these technologies (Christoph et al, 2008;Cardello et al, 2007) and the level of education (Kimenju & De Groote, 2008;Šorgo & Ambrožič-Dolinšek, 2010;Schnettler et al, 2012).…”

“…It has been reported that developing countries tend to have positive attitudes towards novel food technologies, in particular towards GM (Rollin et al, 2011), and among the developing countries there is evidence of consumer groups that have a positive attitude towards GM foods, like in China (De Steur et al, 2010), Kenya (Kimenju & De Groote, 2008) or Brazil (Costa et al, 2000), but in other developing nations the perceptions are generally more negative than positive, like in Argentina (Mucci et al, 2004) and Chile (Schnettler et al, 2010(Schnettler et al, , 2012. The term "genetically modified animals" is rather broad, and may apply to animals fed with feed containing GM additives Acceptance of a food of animal origin obtained through genetic modification and cloning in South America: a comparative study among university students and working adults Berta SCHNETTLER 1 or enzymes, those given GM vaccines and hormones, and those that are GM themselves (Novoselova et al, 2007).…”

Consumer Purchase Intention towards GeneticallyModified Food: Beneficial, Price, Socio-Demographicand Label Determinants

“…Chen et al (2004) results showed that men, young people, college degree or higher, married people were more willing to pay a higher cost for non-GM vegetable oil. [12] Mucci et al (2004) studied the Argentine consumer's perception of GM food and purchase intention. [13] The result showed that the characteristics of the population associated with the higher purchase intent of GM foods were less than 25 years of age, low level of education.…”
