Consumers’ interest in quality aspects of food products has significantly increased. The objective of this study is to examine the influence that Maltese consumers’ lifestyles have on their attitudes towards quality features of fruit and vegetables. To achieve our objective we used the Food-Related Lifestyle approach and carried out a telephone survey during February 2010 in Malta. Consumer profiles were identified through segmentation analysis, taking into account five as-pects: (i) subjectivity of quality; (ii) consumer difference; (iii) intangible dimensions; (iv) in-formation environment; (v) and price.

Abstract
Consumers’ interest in quality aspects of food products has significantly increased. The objective of this study is to examine the influence that Maltese consumers’ lifestyles have on their attitudes towards quality features of fruit and vegetables. To achieve our objective we used the Food-Related Lifestyle approach and carried out a telephone survey during February 2010 in Malta. Consumer profiles were identified through segmentation analysis, taking into account five as-pects: (i) subjectivity of quality; (ii) consumer difference; (iii) intangible dimensions; (iv) in-formation environment; (v) and price.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
