Abstract

This article studies branded pork consumption behavior in Taiwan. Because branded pork is only available in some markets, the consumer decision process involves two stages: the first relates to a consumer's choice of market, and the second is the consumer's product choice (frozen branded pork vs. fresh pork). The results of a two-stage consumer choice model are presented along with discussion of consumer preferences and purchase habits. The implications for developing branded, certified food products in rapidly developing Asian markets are discussed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
