The paper applies conjoint choice analysis based on a face-to-face survey with 250 consumers. According to the findings, consumers prefer domestic yogurt with low fat content and with food safety certification. The results of this study provide valuable market information to dairy value chain actors and policymakers, related to yogurt market development including food product safety (and quality) certification.
