“…This is the only possible way to overcome the resistance to change that characterizes food purchasing behaviour. As mentioned earlier in this article, several authors cited by Grankvist and Biel (2007) point out that the purchase of food is an almost daily task, often performed without a cognitive assessment and mainly guided by habit. However, the presence of fruit with different and unfamiliar characteristics may lead consumers to break this cycle and make choice a more reflected process.…”

“…In fact, as suggested by several authors cited by Grankvist and Biel (2007), the purchase of everyday food, such as apples, is a behaviour often executed with little or no cognitive evaluation, often guided by habits. The presentation of particular features in an explicit and isolated way could draw the attention of participants and possibly would lead them to over valuate these features when regarded as «positive».…”

“…As referred by Magnusson et al (2003), empirical research provided evidence that, in addition to taste, consumers increasingly value other aspects of food, such as safety, nutritional value or the production system. Research all over the world pinpoints the increasing consumers' preference for organic food (Hammit, 1990;Schifferstein and Ophus, 1997;Miles and Frewer, 2001;Hursti and Magnusson, 2003;Grankvist and Biel, 2007). This preference is usually linked to the perception that this kind of food is healthier, tastes better and contributes to environmental protection.…”

The last two decades have witnessed an increasing enthusiasm of consumers for products with specific characteristics, whether related to origin or production technology. Several studies show that consumers are willing to pay price premium for organic products and we may expect that the same happens with other attributes, such as origin and tradition. The aim of this study, based on surveys conducted in the context of a taste panel, is to establish the price premium that consumers are willing to pay for the feature «traditional variety», using Portuguese traditional varieties of apples as a case study. Using contingent valuation to determine the willingness to pay and panel data techniques for estimation, a hedonic price model is developed to explain how the price that consumers declare to be willing to pay is related, besides variety, to different attributes of apples, such as appearance and taste, production method and threat of extinction. The results suggest that consumers, regardless of their socio-economic characteristics, are willing to pay a higher price not only for apples with better taste, appearance and smell, but also for Portuguese traditional varieties.

“…Numerous studies in psychology, ecology and economy deal with the role of FT. Superior research issues are customer role, customer perspective and WTP so far (De Pelsmacker et al, 2005;Grankvist and Biel, 2007). Customer's interest in organic and FT products increased significantly within the past ten years.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to find out the influences of sustainability labels on fashion buying behaviour. Despite key information about Fair Trade is provided in all stores of the sample company, customers seem not to be aware of the Fair Trade concept. Therefore this paper aims to give recommendations for a fashion retailer in terms of elucidation about Fair Trade by answering the following research questions: Which influences do sustainability labels wield on customer's buying behaviour? Are consumers of textile products aware of the function and backgrounds of the Fair Trade label?Design/methodology/approach -A paper-based questionnaire was administered to 128 customers of a German fashion retailer "Adler Modemärkte AG" in four city stores from which 127 were correctly completed. Additionally an adjusted self-completion questionnaire administered to 50.000 customers online from which a total of 1.712 were correctly completed. Descriptive analysis and cross-tabulations were applied to abstract the main research findings and evaluate the hypotheses. Research limitations/implications -Majorly women aged between 56 and 75 participated in the survey. Findings are limited to geography, the target group of the fashion retailer Adler, gender, age group and the research method questionnaire.

“…Previous research showed that individuals evaluate organic agriculture as quite positive (Magnusson, Arvola, Koivisto Hursti, Åberg, & Sjödén, 2001;Saba & Messina, 2003). They perceive organic food to be of higher quality (Kahl et al, 2012;Pearson, Henryks, & Jones, 2011;Saba & Messina, 2003), to taste better (Grankvist & Biel, 2001;Hay, 1989;Roitner-Schobesberger, Darnhofer, Somsook, & Vogl, 2008;Schifferstein & Ophuis, 1998), to be healthier (Hay, 1989;Petrescu et al, 2013;Roitner-Schobesberger, et al, 2008), and more nutritious compared to conventional food products (Hay, 1989) and to be better for the environment (Grankvist & Biel, 2007;Roitner-Schobesberger, et al, 2008) and animal welfare. With respect to Dutch individuals, research showed that organic products were associated with animal welfare, price, health, pesticides, and naturalness.…”
