| Summary: | Based on an online discrete choice experiment (DCE) this study investigates the relative importance of food label information (country of origin, production methods, chemical residue testing (CRT)) and price for Taiwanese consumers’ in their purchase of sweet peppers.

Our findings also indicate that interaction between attributes matter and that preference for attribute levels differs depending on socioeconomic characteristics. |
