| Summary: | In recent years, the negative effects of new production techniques in agriculture, especially on human health, have
changed consumer preferences and have led to the preference of more natural foods for shopping. This change in
consumer demand has attracted attention to organic food, especially in terms of consumers. As a matter of fact,
with the increase of this demand, the number of researches in domestic and foreign literature about organic food
consumption behavior has increased. Most of the researches have found that organic product buyers are usually
children-owned women. In this study, unlike other studies in the literature, it is aimed to determine the perceptions,
purchasing causes, purchasing barriers and willingness to pay only for mother and mother candidates (pregnant
women). The research data were collected by the questionnaire method and the questionnaire was performed in
the social media. The sample of the study consisted of 601 mothers or mothers candidates who had previously
bought organic food at least once. Results show that the most consumed organic food by research participants is
egg. The Kruskal Wallis test was used to test whether the research variables differed according to the demographic
characteristics of the participants and significant differences were found. Participants' willingness to pay was
calculated by the contingent valuation method, with an increase of 131% for eggs, 132% for tomato paste, 175%
for jar baby food. |
