How Does Consumers’ Care for Origin Shape Their Behavioural Gap for Environmentally Friendly Products?

Abstract: Climate change is threatening worldwide crop yields and varieties, and the desertification of Southern Europe and Mediterranean areas is endangering the cultivation of tomato, not only one of the most important cultivated crops, but also one of the main pillars of the global food industry. To minimize its environmental impact, current research efforts in Europe are selecting resilient tomato genotypes with reduced use of water and fertilizers. Still, its commercial acceptance depends on consumers’ reaction in … Show more

“…Nonetheless, the inspection of consumer acceptance has revealed that there are still some concerns from the demand side that deserve further study. In particular, the consumer analysis conducted in Italy by Mancuso et al (2016) reveals the existence of a behavioural gap (see, for sustainable food consumption in general, Trentinaglia De Daverio et al, 2021;Vermeir and Verbeke, 2006), i.e. despite the generally positive attitude reported by most respondents, not all of them (25%) are actually ready to purchase it.…”

“…An extensive strand of research has explored the role of consumer ethnocentrism in the food domain, where food proximity can be a valuable attribute for consumers (Chryssocoidis et al. , 2007; Trentinaglia De Daverio et al. , 2020).…”

“…An extreme case of consumer ethnocentrism is consumer animosity, according to which the consumption of goods and services produced or provided by companies of a specific country is highly disapproved of by consumers in a different country (Klein et al, 1998;Riefler and Diamantopoulos, 2007). An extensive strand of research has explored the role of consumer ethnocentrism in the food domain, where food proximity can be a valuable attribute for consumers (Chryssocoidis et al, 2007;Trentinaglia De Daverio et al, 2020).…”

“…Consumers in new producing areas, such as California, focus their attention on product familiarity (Santosa et al , 2010) while Italian consumers are more concerned about geographical origin (Panzone et al , 2016). Regarding geographical origin and consequently the role of the country-origin effect on consumer choices, recent studies have emphasized how highly significant it is (Mtimet et al , 2011; Dekhili et al , 2011; Bimbo et al , 2020; Trentinaglia et al , 2021). The importance attached to the origin cues and consumer preference is not universal since it varies according to market characteristics and depends on the reputation and image of the producing region (Chamorro et al , 2020; Dekhili and d'Hauteville, 2009); therefore it can be considered as a very important product attribute which, can be implicitly, albeit partially, included in PDO and PGI signals.…”
