Title : ALBANIAN CONSUMER’S BEHAVIOR TOWARD ETHICAL VALUES OF AGRO-FOOD PRODUCTS: A SOCIO-ECONOMIC ANALYSES
Abstract : The aim of this work was to analyze and find out the relation between socio-economic characteristics of Albanian consumers and their behavior toward agro-food products with ethical values. Organic, fair-trade and typical/traditional agro-food products were ethical products object in this study. Information was collected by face-to-face interviews with 311 adult Albanian consumers concentrated mainly in the central, south-eastern, south-western and northern part of Albania. The Logit model is used to study correlation between consumers’ behavior and their socio economic characteristics such as: origin, age, gender, marital status, family size, children and elder presence, family monthly income, employment, level of education and their knowledge about ethical agro-foods. Logistic regression is used to predict a categorical (usually dichotomous) variable from a set of predictor variables. Analyses demonstrated that only “Education”, “Age” and “Knowledge level about ethic food” have a significant contribution to their behavior (p ≤0,05). The correlation between Albanian consumers’ behavior and last three variables is significant.
