Abstract:

 


The holistic production systems have been
gaining more attention from the agricultural producer. This is due to the
rising demand from the society and attached with increasing health concerns.
While this is valid for developed countries, it is also gaining attention in
developing countries as well. Driving out of these facts, it was intended to
overview the consumer decision making process for organic agricultural
products, specifically fresh fruits and vegetables and legumes by utilising
primary data retrieved from Timisoara province of Romania. Due to the survey
results of 2018, it was understood that demand for organic agriculture and its
outputs is still a quality-price comparison matter for consumers and people
with lower per capita income require price motivators. Yet, with rising income
and level of education, quality-price assessment becomes more prevalent and
people demand more variety of products. This confirms the income-demand
co-movement for non-conventional products. It was understood that there is an
interest for organic agricultural and food products in Romania as well, yet the
level information is limited. Consumers are willing to be acknowledged but do
not consider the conventional promotion tools as satisfactory. Non-conventional
tools and increased consumer awareness are essential to increase the demand and
corresponding farmer orientation on organic agricultural production.
