6 What Drives the Purchase Decision?
7 Consumer Choices Willingness to Pay for Local and Organic? Premiums are present (Darby et al. 2008; Yue et al. 2009; Campbell et al. 2010; Onozaka and McFadden 2011) Foodland Ontario label: $0.10 premium per pound overall and $0.35 premium for certain segments of consumers (Campbell et al. 2010). Canada Organic and Verified Organic labels: $0.16/lb and $0.19/lb premium across all consumers.
8 Background Why care about Local? Local sales 2008: $4.8 billion in U.S. local sales (Low and Vogel 2011) ½ from direct to consumer; ½ through intermediaries Sourcing of product 24% of Loblaw Companies Limited produce was sourced locally, with 40% being local during the summer of 2008 (Britnell 2010). Increasing numbers of farmers markets and CSA s CT has mandated move from 1% to 5% local food and Ag. products sales by 2020
9 Background Who Buys Local? Local consumer is. Positive indicator: Higher income (Jekanowski et al. 2000; Brown 2003; Campbell et al. 2010) Varying indicator: Gender and higher education (Jekanowski et al. 2000; Brown 2003; Campbell et al. 2010) Other factors: Environmental group members and involved in agriculture (Brown 2003) Length of state residence and increased quality perceptions of local (Jekanowski et al. 2000) Increased view of food being important and shopping at farmer s market (Campbell et al. 2010)
10 Introduction Local food is Why Buy Local? Darby et al (2008): freshness, support for local economy and farms, and environmental sustainability. Yue et al (2009): freshness and safe to eat. Onozaka et al. (2010): health benefits and local economy most important seasonal availability of fresh produce as being limiting factors. Feagan et al (2004): shop at farmer s markets are motivated by social interactions, food freshness as well as support for local farmers.
11 Background Retail organic food market in 2008 (ERS and export.gov) in Canada $1.5 billion In the USA $22.9 billion Market growth increasing, but at decreasing rate due to recession Organic food imports: 80% (Canada); 15% (US) OMAFRA (2009): Why care about Organic? 2007: 60% consumers bought some organic products 5% consumers buy 50% of all organic foods
12 Background Who Buys Organic? Organic consumer is. Positive indicator: Age (Campbell et al. 2010; Fromatz 2006) Higher educated (Campbell et al. 2010; Fromatz 2006) Shop at farmers market (Campbell et al. 2010) Varying indicator: Race (Campbell et al. 2010; Stevens-Garmon et al. 2007) Income (Campbell et al. 2010; Stevens-Garmon et al. 2007)
13 Background Why Buy Organic? Perception and drivers for purchasing organic products Health concerns, food scares (Zanoli, 2004) Organic: lack of negatives (e.g. chemical residues (Ritson and Oughton, 2007) Organic food is more nutritious and safer (Hamzaoui Essoussi,2008) Tastes better, environmentally friendly production (Filion and Azari, 2002)
14 Background Perceptions Ideal Situation Production definition Consumer definition Retail definition
15 Background Canada s organic food certification system little more than an extortion racket, report says - National Post 11/24/ comments: This is the second article I've seen recently condemning organic food. I have no doubt such articles are planted by big agra. OnceProudCanadian It doesn't "condemn organic" at all. It questions the *labelling* and claims of being organic. steveintoronto And one thing the article fails to point out is that organic, by definition, also means (or I have read that it does) locally grown. We ought to be supporting local growers wherever possible. CaringForThePlanet It has been known for years, that the "organic" label means nothing more than higher prices without any advantage over products not labelled thus. I stopped spending my $$$s for this stuff a long time ago. It's just a "feel-good" scam. No benefit to the healthy body & only slight to false pride. rattler
16 Background Perceptions How did we get to where we are at? Media Academic Production definition Consumer definition Retail definition Industry Government
17 Background Some examples: Government USDA miles or less State government -- Within state, BUT varies by state Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) Interim Rules Food produced in the province or territory in which it is sold (e.g. Product of Nova Scotia, Foodland Ontario, Buy BC, or Quebec Vrai Or, Food sold across provincial borders within 50 km of the originating province or territory
18 Background Perceptions How did we get to where we are at? Some examples: Government Canada s organic food certification system little more than an extortion racket, report says National Post, Nov by Adiran Humphreys Public
19 Literature Review When It Comes To Buying Organic, Science And Beliefs Don't Always Mesh by NPR But many of you wrote in to us and to Morning Edition to let us know you weren't happy with the study or our coverage of it. What about environmental benefits? you asked. How could pesticide residues on conventionally grown food not be bad for us? What about genetically modified food? And, aren't you just shilling for the big food companies
20 Background Perceptions How did we get to where we are at? Some examples: Government Public Media Organic: A Journalist's Quest to Discover the Truth Behind Food Labeling by Peter Laufer, Discussed on NPR July 2014 Canada s organic food certification system little more than an extortion racket, report says National Post, Nov by Adiran Humphreys
21 Background Perceptions How did we get to where we are at? Some examples: Government Public Media Retailers - Retailers differ on local (Britnell 2010; Martinez 2010): Within state, Hours to transport, Within country - Wegmans has been running a TV commercial. It asserts that organically grown produce tastes better than conventionally grown produce. Perishabale Pundit newsletter Nov. 2014

39 Local: Accurate Definition Accurate Decreased miles to transport Demographic Older Caucasian females living in suburban areas (compared to urban) Behavior Heard of terms sustainable and eco-friendly, purchase less organic produce, purchase more local produce
40 Local: Nutrition/Taste Nutrition/Taste More nutritious/better tasting Demographic Lower income (both) Older (better taste) Not urban (better taste) CANADIANS (more nutritious) -- who buys and will pay premium? Behavior Heard of term eco-friendly, purchase MORE organic produce
41 Local: Environmental Environmental Better environment, lower carbon footprint, lower greenhouse emissions Demographic CANADIAN, younger, not suburban area, Caucasian Behavior Heard of terms sustainable and eco-friendly, purchase MORE organic produce
42 Local: Environmental (Inaccurate) Environmental Organic, no synthetic pesticide use, less pesticide residue Demographic Younger, rural, higher educated Behavior Heard of term eco-friendly, purchase MORE organic produce
43 Local: Higher Priced Higher Priced Demographic CANADIAN, younger, female, Caucasian Behavior Heard of term sustainable, purchase LESS local produce
44 Organic: Accurate Definition Accurate No synthetic pesticide Demographic Caucasian females living in the US Behavior Heard of terms sustainable and eco-friendly, purchase more local produce
45 Organic: Nutrition/Taste Nutrition/Taste More nutritious/better tasting Demographic Lower income (better taste) -- who buys and will pay premium? Younger (more nutritious) Suburban (more nutritious) CANADIANS (better taste) Higher educated (more nutritious) contradicts Stanford study Behavior Purchase MORE organic produce
46 Organic: Environmental Environmental Better environment, lower carbon footprint, lower greenhouse emissions, less pesticide residue Demographic Lower incomes, Caucasian, higher education Behavior Heard of terms sustainable and eco-friendly, purchase MORE organic produce
47 Organic: Inaccurate Environmental Local, decreased miles to transport Demographic Younger, rural, higher educated Behavior Heard of term eco-friendly, purchase MORE organic produce
48 Organic: Higher Priced Higher Priced Demographic Live in urban area, female, Caucasian Behavior Heard of term sustainable and eco-friendly, purchase LESS organic produce
49 Review Conclusions There ARE misperceptions about local and organic Local and organic are the same for many Less pesticide residue for local Non-GMO for local Canadian and U.S. consumers DO have some differing perceptions Canadian consumers more likely to associate environmental benefits with local, but More likely to associate higher prices US consumers more likely to associate local with organic Organic purchasing plays a large role in local perceptions
50 Conclusions As a Value Chain member, why should you care what is perceived as local and organic? Because: May alienate market (e.g. buy a Rolex but really a Rolax) Creates efficiencies when understand market (e.g. marketing) Creates a better relationship with your clientele Trust
