For the better understanding of consumer preference towards organic food products, a study was conducted in Navi Mumbai. Five organic food sale points of Navi Mumbai city was selected, from each organic food sale point 20 consumers were selected randomly, totaling of at least 100 consumers. Majority (29%) of the respondents belonged to young age group (<25 and 25-30 each) However, 22% of the respondents were middle age groups (30 to 50 years) and 20% of the respondents belonged to old age group (>50 years).
Four consumers (Gender, Area, Family type, and Education) showed a significant relationship with the level of perception, three consumers (Area, Education, and Annual income) showed a significant relationship with the level of attitude, and four consumers (Area, Education, Occupation, and Annual income) showed a significant relationship with the level of belief out of the seven profile characteristics that were chosen.
The major constraints in marketing of organic food products faced by shopkeepers/retailers are products are expensive by customers ranked I (66.16) followed by doubt of authenticity of the product ranked II (57.75). The customers are not aware of the products ranked III (53.26).
