Abstract: This study investigates Chinese consumers' levels of awareness of and attitudes toward organically produced food products. We focused specifically on the characteristics of safety, health value, concern for environmental degradation, taste and price. We then tested how these covariates contribute to purchase decisions for organic foods.
