“…Henchion et al (2017) identified that information on the label received higher grades of concern; in general, higherincome classes were more preoccupied with this information on meat choice. Boito et al (2021) found a constant and increased preoccupation with meat quality when evaluating the Brazilian consumer profile. Concerns, attitudes, and opinions of meat buyers in Garanhuns, Pernambuco, Brazil Dill et al Lino et al (2009) reported that the main factor influencing the purchase decision of consumers buying meat in the public markets of the city of Jaboatão dos Guararapes, located in the metropolitan region of Recife, Pernambuco, was price, followed by convenience, custom, and reliability of the product.…”

Animal production systems and agribusinessFull-length research article Concerns, attitudes, and opinions of meat buyers in Garanhuns, Pernambuco, Brazil ABSTRACT -With the objective of identifying the concerns, attitudes, and opinions of meat buyers and their relationship with their choice of place of purchase (supermarkets, free fair, or butchers), 381 consumers in the city of Garanhuns, Brazil, were interviewed. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics and discriminant analysis, complemented by stepwise regression, Wilks' Lambda test, and Fisher's linear test.Most of the respondents expressed that inadequate commercialization of meat occurred in free fairs, and the lack of hygiene and the fact that meat was exposed in the environment without refrigeration were the main preoccupations. They also reported that meat consumption without inspection could lead to disease transmission, with pork being considered the most dangerous. Based on the theory of planned behavior, buyers agreed that their attitudes toward the purchase of meat (concern with food safety, price, animal welfare, environment, and slave labor) influenced their purchasing decisions. Regarding the subjective norms, the results indicated that purchase intention could be modulated by the opinion and judgment that other people exercise on the buyer's choice decision. Regarding perceived control, the respondents said that they were confused at the time of purchase and got irritated after making a purchase that did not satisfy their desires. The factors that differentiated consumers who prefer to buy meat in supermarkets from those who prefer butchers and free fairs are mainly the price of the product, custom/tradition, customer service, and hygiene of the establishment. Buyers who have a lower level of schooling and live in rural areas also tended to buy meat in free fairs.

“…Often, meat was no longer consumed due to the buyer's income, lack of availability and practicality of the food, and/or perceived health risks (Dill et al, 2014b). This concern about health risks may be associated with recent major scandals involving dubious suppliers who misrepresented their products to consumers (Boito et al, 2021).…”

“…There is a primordial attribute of a singular character called personal satisfaction, before all the physical attributes can be definitive as motivators to buy beef. Food products have a multitude of factors that influence consumer purchasing decisions, but it is the degree of individual satisfaction/pleasure from the product that determines the repeatability of purchase, which is responsible for brand loyalty in the long term [ 49 ]. Our findings corroborate the study which shows that the main reason for consuming beef is the pleasant taste [ 50 ], our results suggest that there are two factors that predispose consumers to eat beef: the first was a culture concerned with tradition and the versatility of beef consumption, and the second was a social factor dealing with feeding children and the elderly as well as the demonstration of culinary skills.…”

Beef consumption and production in Spain and Brazil are different with the consumption of beef in Brazil being three times higher than in Spain. In addition, there are variations in the economic value of production and in the traceability system. Therefore, the aim of this research was to understand the purchasing and consumption patterns using the customer behavior analysis technique of focus groups, which analyzed motivations for the consumption of beef, classifying their preferences by the intrinsic and extrinsic attributes at the time of purchase. The key aspect of the consumption of beef, both for Spanish and Brazilian consumers, was personal satisfaction/flavor. Spanish consumers were more conscious than Brazilians of the beneficial and harmful qualities that meat provides. The presence of fat was the factor that most restricted intake in both countries. The most important intrinsic attributes for Spanish and Brazilian consumers were the visual aspects of the meat: color, freshness, and the quantity and disposition of fat. The most important extrinsic characteristics were the price and expiration date. Spanish consumers see packaged meat as convenient and safe, although it is considered by Brazilians to be over-manipulated. The traceability certification on the label provides credibility to the product for the Spanish but only partially for Brazilians.

“…According to FEDEGAN ( 11 ) for example, beef was replaced by non-perishable foods such as eggs and rice during the pandemic in Colombia. Despite this, the cattle sector plays a fundamental role within the agricultural sector and the economies of most developing and transition countries and is thus at the center of discussions around food security policy ( 12 – 17 ). In particular, the Latin American cattle sector (i) directly impacts food security as it is an important source of protein ( 12 , 18 ), (ii) generates direct and indirect employment ( 19 ), and (iii) is the major beef producing and exporting region at the global level ( 12 , 13 , 20 , 21 ).…”

The impact of COVID-19 on agricultural markets, especially the beef market, represents one of the greatest food security challenges the world is facing in the post-pandemic era and, for this reason, has been widely documented. This study contributes to the literature through a comprehensive impact analysis of the effects of COVID-19 on both the demand and supply of beef in Latin America and thus provides valuable information for two of the most important links of the beef value chain. Robust econometric methods and a graphic analysis were used that give solidity to the investigation. The analysis used a data panel of supply and demand variables between 2018 and 2022 derived from the US Department of Agriculture. The results suggest that the beef market was strongly affected by the pandemic related health emergency, presenting decreases in both consumption and production. These effects are transitory, however, since the analysis of the post-pandemic data revealed that consumption and production return to normal and seem to grow until smoothing out over time.
