Abstract

The COVID‐19 pandemic compelled governments to implement various stringent measures, causing changes in food consumption patterns. In this study, we examine changes in consumer behaviors such as online grocery shopping and restaurant dine‐in/takeouts in the United States, Canada, France, the United Kingdom, South Korea, and Japan from 2021 to 2023 using multivariate probit regressions. The results reveal that food acquisition behaviors are shaped by a complex interplay of risk perceptions, socio‐demographic characteristics, and changing pandemic phases. Our study offers insights for food business marketing strategies and provides information for stakeholders in the international agribusiness industry through a multi‐country comparison.
