A study of influencing factors of consumers willingness to buy fresh fruits and vegetables online in underdeveloped areas based on consumer survey in Tongren city Guizhou Province
Abstract:
Consumers in underdeveloped areas in China have a huge market demand for
fresh fruit and vegetable products; however, there are problems such as late popularity
of online shopping, relatively low acceptance of online shopping by consumers, and
unique factors affecting purchase intention. The consumers in the underdeveloped
areas of China, including Guizhou province, were used as investigation objects, and
the empirical research was mainly based on the five dimensions of demographic
variables, the product features of preference, the acceptance of the logistics service
quality, shopping platforms, degree of consumers on the influence of consumers'
willingness to buy fresh fruits and vegetables online in underdeveloped areas. The
empirical results showed that demographic variables had an impact on consumers'
purchasing intention. Preference of product characteristics, quality of logistics service,
acceptance of shopping platforms, and the degree of consumers themselves positively
affected consumers' willingness to buy fresh fruits and vegetables online in
underdeveloped areas. The degrees of influence from high to low included preference
of product features, quality of logistics service, acceptance of shopping platform,
degree of consumers. This result enables the fresh fruits and vegetables e-commerce
platforms to increase the understanding of consumers' online shopping intentions in
underdeveloped areas, and to fill the gaps of relevant research on consumers' online
shopping intentions of fresh fruits and vegetables in underdeveloped areas
