WP8: Qualitative & quantitative, consumer-orientedObjective: to check the WBC consumers’ attitudes, expectations and behaviours towards traditional and local food products
- measure the attitudes towards traditional and local food productsexpressed by Balkan consumers,
- assess the purchase behaviours of WBC consumers for traditional and local food products,
- identify specific segments of consumers sensitive to traditional and local food products.
WP8: Description of work- Activity 8.1 Focus groups (UL-SLO)
- Activity 8.2 Conjoint analysis (Enita Clermont)
- Activity 8.3 Cluster analysis (Enita Clermont)

Traditional Food Products, DefinitionTraditional foods vs globalized and strong branded food products• Basis of local food basket• Strongly related to long history & local culture• Produced in their local market area• Sold within short distribution channels, direct sale from farm• Less available on far-off great urban markets• Barely exported.Possible range of traditional foods (unlimited list):• Local artisan cheeses• Processed meats, fruits or vegetables• Bread and pastry made with local cereals or ancient recipes• Local beverages with or without alcohol• Local varieties of fruits or vegetables• Local meals including several home-cooked foods, ……

Traditional Food Products, Trade-offNutrition & Convenience vs Cultural BelongingAppealing strong brands, a dreamy European way of life• Speed, travel, always plugged, trendy: we are not hungry anymore• Overestimation of functional food• Convenience food vs slow cooking• World citizens, access to global market• Underestimation of need of cultural roots for happy life• Less availability of traditional foods on far-off great urban markets
The future of traditional foods:• Improved nutritional status (low salt, low fat, low sugar, …..)• Better balanced way of life: less stress, less compensation through food• Rehabilitation of affect & social content of food

• Contribution to knowledge on TFPs• Rural sociology /agricultural economics or agro-food marketing• Human geography• Nutrition
• WP8 will assess consumers’ perception of TFPs /• Local sourcing or cultural rooting• Daily food versus festive • Local names protection versus free market• Health versus culture• Nutrition or pleasure
•Self consumption of locally grown or processed food products
15
Contribution to know-how on consumer survey analysis
• Transfer from qualitative to quantitative survey• Focus Groups to Conjoint Analysis
• Practical training cluster analysis segmentation methods • k-means analysis or decision tree modelling
•Theoretical framework:• Asymmetry of information• Consumers decision making process
• MODE model, Fazio• Motivations and Opportunities as DEterminant of behaviour • Attitudes undermine behaviours under context and affect effect

WP4 : METHODOLOGY TO BE ADOPTED IN WP84.1 & 4.2 TERMINOLOGY CLARIFICATION & REGULATORY
FRAMEWORK
The concept of traditional food could be wide
First step : Traditional products linked with regulatory frame work, and especially
•PDO : Protected designation of origin•PGI Protected Geographical indication• TSG : Traditional speciality guaranteed
18
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
Two main regulations apply to ‘Traditional’ foods’ marketed within Europe:
• EC regulation 2081/92 which applies to the protection of geographical indications (PGI) and designations of origin of agricultural products (PDO). (510/ 2006)
• EC regulation 2082/92 on certificates of specific character of agricultural products and foodstuffs (TSG) (509/ 2006)
19
REGULATORY FRAMEWORKOther specific regulatory dispositions
• Law on Mountains (France) and European Charter from Mountain Quality food Products
• “On farm” food products (poultry, cheese…)…
• PUBLIC certifications/ guarantee trademarkTraditional products benefit from trademarks open to all products of a designated
region– Bienvenue en Gourmandie (Normandie)– Spécialité du Canton du Jura (Switzerland)
– Natural Parks products Trademark
20
The Balkans (case studies)
•Complexity of the institutional framework due to the history•Former legal framework renewed • Serbia new law in 2006, existing former GIs;• Bosnia Herzegovina: IP law in 2002; IP law in 2004 and PDO-PGI regulation in
2004• Macedonia: IP law in 2002, revised in 2004
FOOD LAW in CROATIA defines specifications and requirements for PDOs, PGIs,and TSGs

WP4 : METHODOLOGY TO BE ADOPTED IN WP8
24
Activity 8.1 Focus groups
Methodology defined in WP4 (February 2010) as for WP5 and WP6 - recruitment of participants, - selection and presentation of examples of products- guide for moderation of discussion
UL-SLO in charge, Methodology group, support from ENITA-C for the protocol, WBC partners to carry out the focus groups
25
Activity 8.1 Focus groups
Objectives:- Data collection on WBC consumers’ wording on traditional foods’
consumption- Help to design the conjoint analysis- Analyse attitudes, expectations and behaviour towards traditional and
local food products
Will benefit from previous experience:WP6 experience before the construction of the guideWP5 and WP6 experience before carrying out the focus groups
26
Activity 8.2 Conjoint analysis
Objective:To know consumers’ preferences within a given product category,by showing a selection of products (represented by cards) and analysing the consumers’ preferences
Partners:Enita-C in charge, support from SMMRI, + WP8 assistants, carried out by WBC
Dates:Protocol defined after Focus Groups. Validation October 2010.Carried out Oct-Dec 2010. Analysis Jan-Feb 2011.
27
Activity 8.2 Conjoint analysis
General methodology:1) Build a set of a dozen cards (each card = one product) each with a different combination of characteristics.2) See which cards respondents prefer or dislike most (ask them to rank the cards).3) Analyse -> See which characteristics are most important or preferred.
For the statistically-minded: - Fractional experimental design.- Analysis of variance.Not complex but requires rigor in designing the experiment and collecting the answers.

Activity 8.2 Conjoint analysis – An example
Product: Dried sausage.Factors studied: Type of production: On-farm production or not
Origin (local/foreign)
Two factors with two levels each.

Product: Dried sausage.Factors studied: Type of production: On-farm production/…
Origin (local/foreign)…
Or other product?
Zelodec, Kulen etc.?
31
Activity 8.2 Conjoint analysis – Product?
Questions need to be precise so that answers are reliable -> Select a product or a product category.
ALSO Product must be considered as traditional (and maybe local?) or there must be a traditional version of the product in all countries -> Select a relevant product in each country (or area)
BUT Results must be comparable between regions of a country and between countries -> Select same product in all countries
Can we find one product relevant for all countries? One type of product? Can we find a couple of products, do conjoint analysis on 2 products (100 consumers for each) so that there is at least one product relevant in each country?
32
Activity 8.2 Conjoint analysis – Factors?

34
Activity 8.2 Conjoint analysis
Need results from terminology clarification and from focus groups
Need to select most relevant factors because consumers can only rank a limited number of cards
35
Activity 8.2 Conjoint analysis
We now know which cards (and so which attributes) each consumer prefers. We need to know more about each consumer -> extra questionnaire as well as the card ranking.
- Socio-demographic- Attitudes / Food in general, traditional food, etc.- Behaviour?- …
Must not be too long: 15-20min?

Deliverable D8.1 - March 2011
Report on consumers’ attitudes, expectations and behaviours towards traditional food.
