Além disso, a qualidade aparece como principal atributo decisivo na hora da compra, é revelado um grande interesse por um produto destinado à eles, preferência por adição de cálcio e disposição para pagar um pouco a mais por um produto diferenciado. Tais dados mostram que existe um mercado potencial para um produto destinado aos mais velhos e também que há interesse dos mesmos em um produto como este.----------------------------------------------------Due to the forecast of aging of the Brazilian population for the next few years and to the importance of the productive chain of milk within the Brazilian agribusiness, this article seek to identify the attributes most valued by elderly people and their milk consumption habits, in addition to trying to verify the demand for a particular product in their age. 100 elderly people were interviewed, in two nursing homes, a private one, and another maintained by the municipality of the city of Campo Grande, MS. The most important habits were detected: the majority of the elderly drinks milk every day, buys the product in supermarkets and prefers the “longa vida” packaging. Moreover, the quality seems to be the decisive attribute in the moment of purchase. It was revealed that they have a great interest for products for their age, with the addition of calcium and they are willing to pay a little more for a different product. These results show that there is a potential market for a product designed for elderly people and also that they have the same interest in a product like that.
