ABSTRACT The demand for organic products in Indian has been growing significantly for the past five years.. Consumers are willing to pay more for organic goods.. The increasing numbers of consumers who prefer and are willing to buy these products are subjected to the buying process. Consumers have different buying behaviours and these behaviours are constantly changing as a result of the availability of best alternatives to choose from. Products are chosen for numerous reasons. Overall, the buying process is extremely fast-paced today. Hence, the present study is conducted to explore the extent of the impact of consumers buying behaviour towards the marketing of organic products in Thanjavur District. The study investigates the relationship between variables that affect consumers buying behaviour for organic products and identifies the price levels consumers prefer to pay for organic products in the district. An attempt has also been made to examine the factors that affect the organic products buying behaviours of the consumers. Convenience sampling method was used to select 200 respondents living in the district and who make purchases for the products. The primary data was collected from the respondents with the help of pre-tested structured opened and closedended questionnaires. In pursuance of the study s stated objectives, the formulated hypotheses were subjected to regression and chi-square analyzes. The findings of the study reveal that there is significant relationship between the variables which affects consumers buying behaviour for organic products. Similarly, the factors affecting the consumers buying behaviour have major implications on purchasing decisions.green marketers can therefore understand, identify and design marketing mix strategies to appeal to the preferences of the market segments for green products. INTRODUCTION Due to the increased importance of marketing to market success, firms continue to launch various forms of green packaging prgrams through the introduction of recyclable and useful packages. Green marketing is considered as one of the major trends in modern businesses (Kassaye, 2001). Today, environmental or green marketing, a strategic marketing approach, is a recent focus in business endeavours (Ottman, 1998). Consumers are therefore, becoming more sensitive in their environmental attitudes, preferences, and purchases (Sarigöllü, 2009). The desire of consumers to purchase ecofriendly products and services is rising. Many are more aware of environmental issues and consequently choose products that do not damage the environment over less environmentally friendly products, even if they cost more. Firms today are faced with consumers who are environmentally conscious when making a purchase. Environmentally preferable products are sometimes more expensive to purchase than other alternative products. Green consumers have been shown to be willing to pay a higher price for environmentally friendly products (Larocheet al, 2001; Peattie, 2001), which is a huge opportunity for companies as well as governments looking to make eco-friendly policy changes. Thus, the increasing 42 icmrrjournal@gmail.com

2 number of consumers who prefer and are willing to buy eco-friendly products are creating opportunity for businesses that are using eco-friendly or environmentally friendly as a component of their value proposition. Businesses that offer products which are manufactured and designed with an environmental marketing mix have a long term competitive advantage. A better understanding of consumers buying behavior will allow businesses to acquire more market-applicable approach to sustain in the competitive market. Behavior has a strong influence in terms of consumer purchases. They are the main triggers in the consumer purchasing process and alsoinfluence the perception of a product. This complicated process enables businesses to attract new consumers and adapt their products or services according to their needs and wants or change consumers behavior towards their products or services. Consumers tend to reduce their impact on the environment by their purchasing decisions. There are various factors that affect the buying-decision process of consumers. A number of Researchers have identified many factors as influencing this process including; environmental knowledge (Mostafa, 2006), perceived product price and quality (D Souza et al., 2007), company s environmental reputation (Schwepker and Cornwell, 1991), environmental concerns (Phau and Ong, 2007) and credibility of environmental advertising (Thøgersen J, 2000) It has become very essential to know the factors that create the desire of consumers to purchase a product. Hence, the present study contributes to the field by investigating and exploring the extent of the impact of consumers buying behavior towards organic food products in Thanjavur districts. LITERATURE REVIEW According to Mostafa (2007), green purchase behavior refers to the consumption of products that are benevolent or beneficial to the environment, recyclable or conservable and sensitive or responsive to ecological concerns. Clem (2008) reveals that going green reflects a social consciousness around saving and advancing the Earth s natural resources, preserving and protecting them for the sake of civilization. Consumers are becoming more and more aware of environmental issues and this has increased the demand for ecological products.if consumers have a favourable attitude toward greening environment, they are more inclined to purchase green products. The continuous awareness of environmental problems may in turn change consumers attitudes and purchase intentions as well. Consumer purchase intention has been an important concept in marketing literature. Previous studies have exposed that consumer with intention to buy products exhibit higher actual buying rates than those customers who demonstrate that they have no intention of buying (Brown, 2003). Blackwell et al. (2001) also support this by indicating that purchase intentions represent what consumers think they will buy. Furthermore, behavior towards a particular object is approximated by an intention to perform that behavior (Malhotra and Mccort 2001). Thus, purchase intention positively affects the probability of a customer decision that he will buy green products. Environmental concerns play an important role on consumers intention to purchase green products. Thus, environmental concerns are not the only factor for the consumers to purchase environmentally friendly products. There are other factors that lead to the purchases. Green consumers have been shown to be willing to pay a higher price for environmentally friendly products (Larocheet al, 2001; Peattie, 2001). A high price of green product is an indicator of 43 icmrrjournal@gmail.com

3 environmental performance, because less polluting products are more costly to produce (Mahenc, 2008). A study conducted by D Souza et al., (2006) contrary reported that generally,perception of green products is negatively associated with customer s intention to purchase them if they are of higher prices and low quality in comparison to traditional products. Green product s quality is also a concerned factor for most consumers. Green consumers generally trust on these brand and are not ready to compromise on quality. As there is an expectation on the part of customers that all products offered should be environmentally safe without a need to sacrifice quality, businesses must enhance green product quality as well as focus on environmental benefits of a product, and share these aspects with customers in order to achieve the recognition in the market (D Souza et al, 2006). Hence, these reveal that traditionalproduct characteristics such as brand name, its price and quality are still the most important ones that consumers considered when making purchasing decision (Ganet al, 2008). Other studies have indicated that many consumers are unwilling to forgo essential product benefits during their purchase decision. So therefore, green products must also perform competitively not only according to environmental aspects, but also on the basis of other important product characteristics for instance convenience or durability (Diamantopoulos et al, 2003). Consumers choice for green products can be heavily influenced by the packaging too. Packaging attributes can persuade consumers to purchase the product. According to Dantasetal., (2004), packages and labels have only a fewseconds to make an impact on the consumer s mind; during that time, it must catch the consumer s eye, and convince the shopper that it is the optimum option on the shelf (Rowan, 2000). Based on the review of literature, the following factors have been chosen for this study as factors that affect consumers buyingbehaviors for green products Price Environmental concerns Quality Brandname Convenience Durability Packaging OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY The research objectives are To find the relationship between the variables that affect consumers buying behaviors for organic food products.. To examine the factors that affect consumers buying behaviors for organic food products. To offwe valid sugggestion.valid suggestion to understand customer behaviour towards organic food products. HYPOTHESIS Null Hypothesis:Consumers buying behavior has no relationship with purchase decisions of organic food products. Alternate Hypothesis:Consumers buying behavior has a relationship with purchase decisions of organic food products icmrrjournal@gmail.com
