The result came out each for the ‘Agrifood Purchase Competency Index’ from 6.4 points to 6.6 points, the ‘Eating Habit Competency Index’ 7.3 points and the ‘Agrifood Damage Relief Competency Index’ 5.0 points of ideal condition total 10 points. By combining the weight of each classification, the total result ranged from 6.2 points to 6.5 points.
