Information was collectedby face-to-face interviews with 311 adult Albanian consumers concentrated mainlyin the central, south-eastern, south-western and northern part of Albania. The Logitmodel is used to study correlation between consumers’ behavior and their socioeconomic characteristics such as: origin, age, gender, marital status, family size,children and elder presence, family monthly income, employment, level ofeducation and their knowledge about ethical agro-foods. Logistic regression is usedto predict a categorical (usually dichotomous) variable from a set of predictorvariables.
