Abstract

El consumo mundial sigue creciendo pese a la fuerte crisis que azota al planeta, y sigue siendo el impulso del desarrollo de los pueblos, pero este crecimiento, no esta siendo igual para todos, ya que los efectos del consumo desmesurado estan siendo perniciosos en los paises en vias de desarrollo. Ante una situacion como esta, son los consumidores responsables que opten por consumir productos elaborados bajo unos criterios de justicia, equidad y solidaridad hacia los paises en via de desarrollo, los que podran influir en el presente y transformar el futuro de estos pueblos. Con el objetivo de analizar la situacion, y poder establecer una tipologia de este tipo de consumidores, asi como la incidencia que sobre la compra de lso productos de Comercio Justo tiene el desconocimiento de los mismos y la no accesibilidad en el punto de venta, hemos realizado durante los meses de febrero-abril de 2011 este trabajo de investigacion. Como resultado de este trabajom podemas primero, definir el perfil que caracteriza a este tipo de consumidores, y dos, concluir que el conocimiento y la accesibilidad en el punto de venta de los productos de Comercio Justo, inciden en la intencion de compra de este tipo de productos, siendo la relacion diferente en funcion de la afinidad o no afinidad a este movimiento. Global consumption is still on the increase despite the grave crisis that is affecting the planet, and it is still the driving force in the development of certain nations. However, this growth is not the same for everyone, as disproportionate consumption is harming developing countries. In a situation like this, responsible consumers who choose to consume products made by following a criterion of justice, equality and solidarity towards developing countries are the ones who can influence the present and transform the future of these nations. Throughout February-April 2011 we carried out research with a view to analyzing that situation and establishing a typology of this profile of consumer, as well as the influence that ignorance about Fair Trade products and their lack of accessibility at the point of sale has on their purchase. As a result of this study, we can firstly define the profile which characteristics this kind of consumer, and secondly, conclude that knowledge and accessibility at the point of sale of Fair Trade products coincide in the intention to buy this kind of product, the difference lying in the affinity or otherwise with this movement.
