This increase is due to high per capita income, more awareness on healthy food and the diverse population. Consumers are willing to pay higher prices for the certified organic food products. The objective of this paper is to examine consumers’ Willingness to Pay (WTP) for the organic food in UAE. Data was collected in UAE from 300 respondents. Regression model was used to identify major determinants of consumers WTP for the organic food. The results showed that majority of consumers responded positively when asked if they are willing to pay more for the organic food products. The age, nationality, education; household size and income were deciding factors for consumers to pay higher price for the organic food. These results will provide key information to organic food industry that will help to promote organic food markets in the UAE. 000199045 650__ $$aConsumer/Household Economics 000199045 650__ $$aDemand and Price Analysis 000199045 650__ $$aFood Consumption/Nutrition/Food Safety 000199045 6531_ $$aorganic food 000199045 6531_ $$awillingness to pay 000199045 6531_ $$aconsumers’ preferences 000199045 6531_ $$aprice premium 000199045 700__ $$aMuhammad, Safdar 000199045 700__ $$aFathelrahman, Eihab 000199045 700__ $$aUllah, Rafi Ullah Tasbih 000199045 773__ $$tJournal of Food Distribution Research$$j46$$k01$$dMarch 2015 000199045 8564_ $$9f0133a8f-1d94-47b7-8f26-f8ccab576691$$s148682$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/199045/files/_6_%20Muhammad.pdf 000199045 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/199045 000199045 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:199045$$pGLOBAL_SET 000199045 912__ $$nSubmitted by Allison Hasslen (hassl020@umn.edu) on 2015-03-02T16:26:00Z No. of bitstreams: 1 (6) Muhammad.pdf: 148682 bytes, checksum: 46ae374d8deb2445d8cb11369f216de2 (MD5) 000199045 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2015-03-02T16:26:00Z (GMT).
