Uwarunkowania postaw konsumentów wobec produktów mięsnych
The aim of the article was to present the determinants of consumer attitudes towards meat products. In particular, to identify specified amount of purchased meat and frequency of consumption of meat products, preferences and frequency of supply in meat products and the factors influencing their purchase and consumption. Primary data obtained through standardized interview and secondary data were analysed. The study was carried out in 2014 on a group of 150 respondents living in Bydgoszcz and its surroundings. The average consumption of meat and dairy product in Poland is more than 70 kg per person per year. The most common meat eaten by Polish consumers is pork, the consumption of poultry rises, while beef consumption decreases. The purchase of meat products strongly depends on such factors as the products’ appearance, composition, producer, fat and protein content and nutritional value, while the promotional activities are of the least importance.
