Assistant Professor Sompit Moi Fusakul King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang / Faculty of Architecture/ Thailand * From “Consumer perceptions of organic foods in Bangkok, Thailand”, http://www.sciencedirect.com/science? With increasing awareness of the severity of the domestic problem as well as increasing pressure by international trading partners to comply with international standards, the Thai government overhauled its approach to food safety. The Cabinet passed a ‘ Road Map of Food Safety ’, which serves as a framework for the control of food and agricultural products throughout the food chain. To communicate its new approach to consumers, the Cabinet declared the year 2004 ‘Thailand’s Food Safety Year’ ( Srithamma et al., 2005 ). Within this social and political environment, the demand for (really) safe foods is likely to increase . Indeed, highly publicized food safety incidents can lead to lasting changes in food purchasing behavior ( Buzby, 2001 ).

11. Assistant Professor Sompit Moi Fusakul King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang / Faculty of Architecture/ Thailand According to a survey in 2005: Consumers with a lower income and a lower level of education are least likely to have heard of organic agriculture. Conversely, those who have a higher income and hold an academic degree are more likely to have bought organic products in the past Also, there is a strong relationship between education level and income.: ‘organic buyers’ have a more monthly family income than the ‘non-buyers’ * From “Consumer perceptions of organic foods in Bangkok, Thailand”, http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?
12. According to a survey conducted in Bangkok and outskirt area in 2005. More than a third of the 848 respondents reported having purchased organic vegetables or fruits in the past. The main reasons for purchasing organic products are that consumers expect them to be healthier, that organic products are environmentally friendly. The respondents who have bought organic vegetables tend to be older, have a higher education level and a higher family income than those who have not bought them. * From “Consumer perceptions of organic foods in Bangkok, Thailand”, http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?
