Determination of Factors Affecting Potato Consumption Preferences Behaviors of Consumers by Analytic Hierarchy Process: The Case of Erzurum Province
Abstract
The
study was conducted in Erzurum province to determine the factors that affect
consumers' preferences in potato consumption. For this purpose, 281 consumers
were interviewed in 2017 and Analytical Hierarchy Method was used in the
analysis of obtained data. According to the results, consumers consumed an
average of 10.42 kg potato and spent10.46 TL. per month. Consumers pay more
attention to the taste while buying potatoes, followed by palate tastes, color
and price. While the consumers in the research region are buying potatoes, they
firstly place importance on criteria of "Hasankale", then
"Ahlat" and "Nevsehir" respectively. Potato producers and
the institutions and organizations that are active in the sector should make
production considering the taste, palate taste, habit and color choices, which
affect the purchasing preferences of potatoes, resulting in an increase in
producers’ income and in the utility level of consumers.
