Abstract

In most European countries, consumer demand for organic is increasing. In Northern Europe, the state and professional bodies provide financial support to producers and information campaigns. So, is Cyprus on offer for organic crops? Is there a consumer response? Is the farmer aware of organic farming? The current study collects primary data to determine the perception of consumers regarding organic products in Cyprus at on hand, and secondly to examine if consumers in Cyprus are satisfied using organic food. For the purposes of this research, a structured questionnaire was used collecting 100 consumer responses from the Nicosia area of Cyprus. Results show that Cypriot consumer have favorable opinion and attitude towards organic food products, though there is much to be done to increase the consumption of organic food.
