“…The findings of this study are not surprising and are compatible with the previous studies (Chryssohoidis and Krystallis, ; Briz and Ward, ; Lillywhite et al ., ) if we take into account the fact that the majority of respondents are educated individuals. Educated consumers, because they are inquisitive and do more research, will be able to access more detailed information regarding organic foods.…”

The aim of this research was to examine the effect of health consciousness, environmental concern and food safety concern on both the intention to buy organic foods and the attitude towards organic foods, and the effect of attitude towards organic foods on the intention to buy organic foods. It had also a specific aim to explore whether attitude has a mediation effect on the relationship between the intention to buy and health consciousness, environmental concern and food safety concern. Data were gathered from consumers using a survey. The questionnaire used was administered to a convenience sample of 385 consumers from Adana, Turkey, through a self‐administered questionnaire. Regression and mediation analysis were used to test the hypotheses. The findings suggested that the attitude and the intention to buy were affected by health consciousness, environmental concern and food safety concern. They also showed that the attitude plays a fundamental role both in terms of the direct impact on the intention to buy and the indirect effect as a mediator on how the health consciousness, environmental concern and food safety concern affect the intention to buy. This research is useful to fill the gaps in the literature regarding the mediation effect of the attitude on the relationship between the intention to buy and food safety concern. Another contribution is being one of the first to examine the attitude as a mediator on the relationship between the intention to buy organic foods and health consciousness, environmental concern and food safety concern of Turkish consumers.

“…The majority of prior empirical studies on organic food were carried out mainly in the United States ( Lee & Goudeau, 2014;Rodman et al, 2014;Ryan & Casidy 2018) and Europe (Janssen, 2018a;Janssen & Hamm, 2014;Padilla Bravo, Cordts, Schulze, & Spiller, 2013;Zagata, 2014). In comparison with this, a relatively fewer number of empirical studies were carried out in Asia, e.g., in China Hasimu et al, 2017;Thøgersen et al, 2015bThøgersen et al, , 2016Zhou et al, 2013), Iran (Asif et al, 2018;Sobhanifard, 2018), Jordon (Lillywhite, Al-Oun, & Simonsen, 2013a), Pakistan (Asif et al, 2018), Vietnam (Pham et al, 2018), Malaysia (Chekima et al, 2017;Lim et al, 2014), Thailand (Sriwaranun et al, 2015,Turkey (Çabuk et al, 2014), and Taiwan (Chang & Chang, 2017;Hsu & Chen, 2014;Teng & Wang, 2015).…”

“…However, it still evokes the changes in habit and consumer usage patterns. Previous studies in organic food context suggests that the limited availability of organic food product (Hasimu et al, 2017;Henryks, Cooksey, & Wright, 2014;Lillywhite et al, 2013a;Petrescu et al, 2017;Pham et al, 2018) and the lack of product consistency (González et al 2009;Nandi et al 2017) in the organic category results in the change in existing personal equilibrium of the consumers.…”

“…Tradition barrier is a type of psychological barrier that may occur due to the conflict between consumers' existing value and beliefs rather than actual adoption and related experience of the product (Ram & Seth, 1989). Drawing on these arguments, a tradition barrier in organic food context includes satisfaction with the conventional product (Botonaki et al, 2006), shorter shelf life (Bryła, 2016;Lillywhite et al, 2013a), and appearance and olfactory cues (Henryks et al, 2014;Lillywhite et al, 2013a;Nandi et al, 2017;Padel & Foster, 2005). Therefore, it may act as a barrier among consumers because the majority of them are accustomed to shop as per the existing tradition and societal norms.…”

“…As academic interest in the organic food market increases and new research is being carried out, the results of the analyses into the motives of organic food consumption seem to be different and have different relative importance. For example, according to Lillywhite et al (2013) the essential motives include health, safety, taste, and environment. In Poland, a study by Żakowska-Biemans (2011) found sensory factors, price, and safety to be the most important purchasing motives for organic food consumers.…”

Purpose: This paper aims to isolate transformations that have been taking place on the Polish organic food market through the lens of cluster development with the intention to indicate the dynamics of organic food clusterstheir concentration and dispersion. Design/Methodology/Approach: The employed methodology is centred around location quotient as a measure of concentration which allows to pinpoint clusters. The narrative in the paper follows the development of structures as the Polish organic food market undergoes various transitions. Findings: Organic farmland and organic operators in Poland are not evenly distributed regionally. The conducted study allowed the identification of development patterns of their regional concentration at NUTS-2 level. Throughout the analysed period certain regions have become specialised in organic farming and organic food processing. Practical Implications: As organic producers and organic food processors undergo a process of geographic concentration and are located in proximity with each other the clusters that are formed should translate into an increase of the competitive advantage of the supply-side of the Polish organic food market. Given the necessity to compete not only among each other but with conventional farmers and food processors as well as distributors, organic producers and organic food processors should make use of the proximity advantage and cooperate with the aim of strengthening their position on the market. Originality/Value: The authors undertook a study that goes beyond static analysis of the organic food market in Poland.
