Abstract

O estudo do comportamento do consumidor tem sido tema cada vez mais presente nas estratégias mercadológicas das empresas, haja vista a mudança dos hábitos de consumo, proporcionada por uma oferta cada vez maior de produtos. O setor de alimentos no Brasil, seguindo esta tendência, vem passando por grandes transformações, que partem de seu elemento-chave, que é o consumidor final. Dentro do setor alimentício, o mercado de frutas vem apresentando constante evolução, motivado, sobretudo pela busca de hábitos alimentares mais saudáveis por parte da população. Partindo do pressuposto de que o conhecimento do perfil do consumidor de frutas constitui-se em fator importante para a estratégia mercadológica das empresas do setor, realizou-se estudo de caso, utilizando uma amostra de 212 consumidores de frutas em quatro municípios do estado de Rondônia, visando conhecer suas preferências de compra e perfil de consumo. Mesmo mais presente no mercado de trabalho, a mulher é a principal responsável pelas compras de frutas do domicílio, ou seja, é ela quem, em tese, decide o que chega à mesa da família. De modo geral, os consumidores valorizam o consumo de frutas por associá-lo com alimentação saudável. Em função disso, entendem que os pontos de venda deveriam fornecer mais informações sobre as frutas, principalmente quanto às suas características nutricionais e os benefícios que trazem para a saúde.------------------------------------------------------------------------ The study of consumer behavior has been a topic increasingly present in marketing strategies of companies, given the change in consumer habits, provided by an increasing number of products.
