Abstract
Purpose- The purpose of this research is to perceive and determine the reasons for buying and deterrents for not buying organic products; and to see if modifications in deterrents can increase purchase of organic products making it a value added for the economy. Methodology- As the main aim of the research is to determine Turkish consumers’ perception on organic food and figure out whether the modifications on the deterrents can convince the consumers to buy and/or buy more often organic products. As organic food agriculture can be a powerful element of the economy, the feedbacks of non-organic product users were deemed to be a good indicator on the path leading to increased demand and increased production of organic products. A survey composed of 41 questions is sent and this study summarizes the outputs of 556 responses. Findings- The outputs highlight the distrust in certification process as the main deterrent for not buying organic food. The pricing unreliability is also another crucial factor that prevents consumers to consume more. Conclusion- The outputs conclude as a proper modification to be performed on organic product availability, price and reliability on certification can increase organic product purchase and make it an economic resource.
