Factors Affecting the Buying Intention of Organic Tea Consumers of Bangladesh

Abstract In the modern era of globalization, consumers become aware and concerned about their health as well as natural resources and the environment. Technological improvement and economic growth are continuously exploiting the earth’s resources, resulting in an overwhelming burden on earth's ecology. Confirming a state of equilibrium between economic growth and safeguarding the environment becomes a challenge for business people and marketers. Though people worldwide are becoming interested in buying organic food, the concept of organic farming is relatively new in Bangladesh. The tea industry has started off with producing organic tea on a very limited scale. In this study, the researchers tried to examine the buying intention of organic tea among the consumers of Bangladesh. The study demonstrated that trust and perceived price significantly affect the buying intention of organic tea consumers along with product attributes, health consciousness, and environmental concern. Marketers may consider the stated factors to create an influence on the selection process of organic tea by consumers. View Full-Tex
