Resumen
Descripción
A country-vide survey related to purchasing behaviour of organic and integrated fruit
and vegetables has been prepared for Slovenia. An ordered probit model of consumer
choice was developed on the basis of survey results to quantify various determinants of
purchase frequency for organically and integrally produced fruit and vegetables. Results show that purchase of analysed produce is most significantly influenced by their availability in retail outlets, followed by consumers’ income, health and environmental considerations, and visual attractiveness of products. Demand for organically and integrally produced fruit and vegetables could be further stimulated by targeted knowledge and awareness raising actions.
