“…This phenomenon could be taken into account when driving initiatives to increase consumption, because less involved consumers pay less attention to media and information services. In terms of food-related lifestyles, Witzling and Shaw [77] found that food-related messages are unlikely to reach uninvolved consumers.…”

Involvement can explain behavioral consequences, such as consumer decision-making and consumption. The first aim of this study is to identify the profiles of consumers based on their involvement in light lamb meat. The second aim is to study the influence of involvement on consumers’ attitudes, behaviors, beliefs, preferences, quality cues, and sensory perception regarding light lamb meat. Two consumer profiles are identified. The first cluster includes consumers who enjoyed eating light lamb meat, were conscious of their self-image, and perceived the consequences of poor choices; these consumers also perceived the probability of making an incorrect choice as high. The second cluster includes consumers who truly loved eating lamb meat, were also conscious of their self-image, and perceived the consequences of poor choices; however, these consumers were confident in not making incorrect choices. Although both involvement-based profiles showed high involvement in light lamb meat, it can be concluded that the second cluster had a higher involvement. In general, the involvement-based profiles did not influence health-related attitudes, preferences, or sensory perceptions of light lamb meat, while beliefs, behavior and quality cues were influenced by involvement.

“…Cluster analysis is an often-used technique in food market research, as can be seen from studies on the segmentation of the cheese market (Mes ıas et al, 2003), tomato market (Alamanos et al, 2013), or applied to the market segmentation of traditional, organic, and functional food products (Bre ci c et al, 2017). Cluster analysis was also used in the segmentation of the local market whereby we highlight the works of Zepeda and Nie (2012), Aprile et al (2016), Arsil et al (2018) and Witzling and Shaw (2019). The differences between the obtained segments regarding altruistic motives and perceived barriers in purchasing local food were examined by the Mann-Whitney U-test.…”

“…On the consumer-side of local food research, some studies identified consumer segments with regard to local food purchase and consumption (e.g. Aprile et al, 2016;Bean & Sharp, 2011;Khan & Prior, 2010;Zepeda & Nie, 2012), but limited research addressed consumer segments based on their motives in purchasing local food (Selfa & Qazi, 2005;Thilmany et al, 2008;Witzling & Shaw, 2019). Accordingly, no previous research has been conducted to segment consumers based on their altruistic motives and perceived barriers in purchasing local food.…”

“…Accordingly, no previous research has been conducted to segment consumers based on their altruistic motives and perceived barriers in purchasing local food. Furthermore, studies that have explored consumer motives in purchasing local food have been mostly conducted in the USA (Selfa & Qazi, 2005;Witzling & Shaw, 2019) or developed European countries (e.g. United Kingdom (La Trobe & Acott, 2000;Weatherell et al, 2003;Jones et al, 2004;Chambers et al, 2007;Khan & Prior, 2010;Penney & Prior, 2014), Italy (Aprile et al, 2016;Naspetti & Bodini, 2008), France (Sirieix et al, 2008), Denmark (Jensen et al, 2019), Finland (Roininen et al, 2006), Germany (Henseleit et al, 2007).…”

This is the first empirical study which has segmented consumers based on their altruistic motives and perceived barriers in purchasing local food in a developing country, which has received little prior research attention and as such, provides a valuable contribution to the local food research stream. An empirical study was conducted via an online questionnaire on a sample of 402 Croatian local food consumers. In such a way we identified two consumer segments: (1) embedded local food consumers and (2) disinclined local food consumers. Embedded local food consumers report a significantly higher mean score concerning altruistic motives and a significantly lower mean score for perceived barriers in purchasing local food compared to the other segment. Also, they buy and consume local food more often and put more emphasis on personal motives, such as freshness, quality, and taste. Embedded local food consumers are more satisfied with the current local food supply and are willing to pay higher prices for local food as compared to disinclined local food consumers. This empirical study fills the evident research gap in local food literature regarding altruistic motives and barriers in purchasing locally produced food.
