This article is intended to describe the perspectives of consumers who attend the farmers’ market (FM) in Tibás, Santo Domingo, San Isidro and Barva in the province of Heredia, Costa Rica, based on surveys that were carried out in 2014 and 2015. The methodology was based on the dynamism and nature of the farmers’s market, allowing the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the variables that describes the consumer behavior. A general overview of the operation of FMs administered by Cantonal Agricultural Centers (CACs) was obtained, after which simple random sampling was used to select different FMs and consumers for further analysis. A statistical description of demographic and socioeconomic aspects of FM consumers is included in the analysis of the information obtained and in the synthesis of results. The study found that certain generalized problems are related to the lack of infrastructure, safety and food quality, among other issues. On the other hand, consumers say they buy legumes, greens and fruits as priority products. The FAs are rated by consumers as acceptable and the stands are rated as regular. Both the fairs and stands are in a vulnerable line of competitiveness suggesting to work in strategic areas aimed at strengthening the cultural and historical aspects preferred by consumers. |

La metodología se fundamentó en el dinamismo y naturaleza de las ferias permitiendo el análisis cualitativo y cuantitativo de las variables que describen el comportamiento del consumidor. Primeramente, se obtuvo un panorama general del funcionamiento de las FA, administradas por los Centros Agrícolas Cantonales (CAC); posteriormente, se planteó un muestreo aleatorio simple para la selección de las distintas ferias y los consumidores dentro de cada una de ellas. En el análisis y síntesis de la información se llevó a cabo una descripción estadística en cuanto a aspectos del consumidor, demográficos y socioeconómicos. Se encontró en el estudio que ciertos problemas generalizados están relacionados con la falta de infraestructura, inocuidad y calidad de los alimentos, entre otros; por otro lado, los consumidores manifiestan comprar legumbres, verduras y frutas como productos prioritarios. Las FA son percibidas por el consumidor como aceptables y los tramos son percibidos como regular. Tanto las ferias y tramos se encuentran en una línea vulnerable de competitividad sugiriendo trabajar en las áreas estratégica orientadas para el fortalecimiento en los aspectos culturales e histórico preferidos por los consumidores.Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica2018-12-30info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionartículo originalhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/perspectivasrurales/article/view/1227210.15359/prne.16-32.6Perspectivas Rurales Nueva Época; Vol. 16 No. 32 (2018): Revista Perspectivas Rurales Vol. 16 Núm. 32 (Julio - Diciembre 2018); 121-139Perspectivas Rurales Nueva Época; Vol. 16 Núm. 32 (2018): Revista Perspectivas Rurales Vol. 16 Núm. 32 (Julio - Diciembre 2018); 121-139Perspectivas Rurales Nueva Época; v. 16 n. 32 (2018): Revista Perspectivas Rurales Vol. 16 Núm. 32 (Julio - Diciembre 2018); 121-1392215-53251409-3251reponame:Portal de Revistas UNAinstname:Universidad Nacional de Costa Ricainstacron:UNAspahttps://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/perspectivasrurales/article/view/12272/17150https://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/perspectivasrurales/article/view/12272/17151Derechos de autor 2018 Esteban Arboleda Julio, Juan Rafael Mora Camachoacceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-09-17T01:05:12Zoai:www.revistas.una.ac.cr:article/12272Portal de revistashttp://revistas.una.ac.cr/Universidadhttp://www.una.ac.crhttps://revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/index/oaiandrea.mora.campos@una.crCosta RicaNo aplicaNo aplicaNo aplicaopendoar:2022-09-17T01:05:12Portal de Revistas UNA - Universidad Nacional de Costa Ricafalse |
