Abstract

A realistic experiment with 189 French consumers was conducted to analyseconsumers’reaction to the transition towards integrated pest management (IPM) as thestandard in European farming. Results indicate high substitutability between IPM andorganic tomatoes. It suggests that IPM sales will benefit from the withdrawal ofconventional products from the market only if there is a significant reduction in theprice of IPM products as compared to organic ones and/or an important increase in theshelf space dedicated to IPM products. While information on IPM guidelines increasesIPM products purchases, providing extra information on residue levels in IPM tomatoeshas no further impact on consumers’choices in this experiment
