Abstract

Farmers' markets represent an activity of great importance for local economies in all countries, due to the possibility that small producers can sell their products directly to final consumers without the need for intermediaries. The objective of this work is to identify the socio-demographic and psychographic characteristics of the consumers of the Farmers' Markets of the Valle de Aburrá, Colombia. For this, the test VALS was used through a non-probability sampling, reaching a sample of 1035 people. To this end, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was used to identify psychographic profiles and K-means clustering for determining the number of segments. The results suggest that the three groups identified respond differently to socio-demographic characteristics, which requires that marketing actions focused on communication contemplate these aspects to achieve greater effectiveness in the search to attract more people to attend this type of spaces.
