CHAPTER I

Introduction

Background of the Study

Over the past decades, changing consumer preferences for variety, convenience,

safer, and healthier attributes have been shaping meat demand patterns. Some of these

changes have led to the increasing consumption of poultry meat. In fact, over decades,

poultry has become the most-consumed livestock commodity in the world, especially in

developing and emerging markets (Asante-Addo, 2020).

Both chicken and duck meat are classified as poultry. Chicken and duck meat can

be served as fresh meat or as a processed product and can be cooked in similar ways.

Most people are familiar with the taste and texture of chicken. It’s a meat that has a

neutral taste and is great at picking up added flavor, seasonings, and marinades. In terms

of meat, it’s generally more fibrous. Duck, on the other hand, has an earthier, gamier

flavor and, because of its fat content, is much more tender (Biswas, et. al., 2019).

However, when it comes to poultry meats, chicken is a staple in most households,

with duck coming in at a close second. But for those who have had the two types of meat

together before, it’s obvious that they are different (Adamski, et. al., 2017).

In this study, researcher will look at what sets these two types of meat apart,

focusing on the consumer demand and preferences towards chicken meat and duck meat

in Sipalay City, to see which meat is the best choice.

Accordingly, the main objective of this research is to explore and identify the

relevant factors that contribute to the patterns of behavior change toward the consumption

and preferences of consumer between chicken meat and duck meat. Such analysis may

allow supply chain actors and policy makers to anticipate trends and future changes in

demand, develop effective marketing strategies, and provide products that meet

consumer’s needs and expectations.

Theoretical and Conceptual Framework of the Study

This study stands on the Revealed Preference Theory of Paul Samuelson (1938),

this theory holds that consumer preferences can be revealed by what they purchase under

different circumstances, particularly under different income and price circumstances. The

theory entails that if a consumer purchases a specific bundle of goods, then that bundle is

“revealed preferred,” given constant income and prices, to any other bundle that the

consumer could afford. By varying income or prices or both, an observer can infer a

representative model of the consumer’s preferences.

Much of the explanation for consumer behavior, particularly consumer choice, is

rooted in the concept of utility developed by the English philosopher and economist

Jeremy Bentham. Utility represents want (or desire) satisfaction, which implies that it is

subjective, individualized, and difficult to quantify. By the early 20th century, substantial

problems with the use of the concept had been identified, and many proposed theoretical

replacements struggled with the same critiques. As a result, Samuelson offered what

became known as revealed preference theory in an attempt to build a theory of consumer

behaviour that was not based on utility. He argued that his new approach was based on

observable behavior and that it relied on a minimal number of relatively uncontroversial

assumptions.

As revealed preference theory developed, three primary axioms were identified:

the weak, strong, and generalized axioms of revealed preference. The weak axiom

indicates that, at given prices and incomes, if one good is purchased rather than another,

then the consumer will always make the same choice. Less abstractly, the weak axiom

argues that if a consumer purchases one particular type of good, then the consumer will

never purchase a different brand or good unless it provides more benefit—by being less

expensive, having better quality, or providing increased convenience. Even more directly,

the weak axiom indicates that consumers will purchase what they prefer and will make

consistent choices.

The strong axiom essentially generalizes the weak axiom to cover multiple goods

and rules out certain inconsistent chains of choices. In a two-dimensional world (a world

with only two goods between which consumers choose), the weak and strong axioms can

be shown to be equivalent.

While the strong axiom characterizes the implications of utility maximization, it

does not address all the implications—namely, there may not be a unique maximum. The

generalized axiom covers the case when, for a given price level and income, more than

one consumption bundle satisfies the same level of benefit. Expressed in utility terms, the

generalized axiom accounts for circumstances where there is no unique bundle that

maximizes utility.

The two most-distinguishing characteristics of revealed preference theory are as

follows: (1) it offers a theoretical framework for explaining consumer behaviour

predicated on little more than the assumption that consumers are rational, that they will

make choices which advance their own purposes most efficiently, and (2) it provides

necessary and sufficient conditions, which can be empirically tested, for observed choices

to be consistent with utility maximization (Hands, 2014).

Based on a thorough review of prior literature and prior research findings on

consumer demand and preference, a theoretical framework of the study has been

developed in the figure given below (figure 1) comprising of one independent variables

(demographic profile) which include; age, sex, civil status, educational attainment,

address, family monthly income, source of income, household size, religion, working

status, and one dependent variable (consumer demand and preference) which include;

health, mood, convenience, sensory appeal, natural content, price, familiarity, ethical

concerns.

CHAPTER II

Review Related Literature

This chapter aim deliberately presented the different views of authors, findings

from previous studies, and varied ideas from research writers regarding with the factors

affecting the consumer preferences and demand for chicken and duck meat. The readings

were carefully chosen as to its significant contribution to the purpose of this study. Also,

the shared views enriched the discussion of this study and gave the researcher a wider

understanding and evaluation about this present inquiry.

Consumer preferences

Consumer preference is the subjective taste of individual consumers that is measured by

the satisfaction they derive from an item after they buy it. It is often expressed through

utility (André, et. at., 2018). Consumer preference is the subjective taste of individual

consumers that is measured by the satisfaction they derive from an item after they buy it.

It is often expressed through utility. The value of the item’s consumers buy can be

compared by measuring the utility of the items (Suchánek, & Králová, 2019).

Consumer preference is an important topic in economics. The use of consumer preference

is applicable in other schools of thought too. For example, marketing departments keep

an eye on consumer preference to check which product has higher demand in the market.
16

They can also use it to check the trends in the markets and design a product according to

consumer preferences in the market (De Hooge, et. al., 2017).

Consumer preference is also a handy tool for measuring the satisfaction levels of

consumers for products available in the market. This gives economists an idea of the

standard to which an economy has reached. In other words, by checking consumer

preferences, economists can predict the conditions of the economy (Glick, 2018).

Consumer preferences also reveal the true purchasing power of consumers in a market.

So, by checking consumer preferences, one can see whether the lifestyles and living

standards of a society or community have changed. Usually, this is more relevant to

luxury items or costly foreign products. When consumers prefer luxury items it shows

that their purchasing power or income has increased. So, consumer preferences can also

give a snapshot of the increase in income of consumers (De Mooij, 2019).

Consumer preferences are at the heart of the marketing. When we analyze

consumer behavior, we are typically assessing how consumer make purchase decision

(i.e., the process via which they come to value one purchase alternative over another).

Understanding of consumer preferences is particularly important for product policy (e.g.,

what features to have, whether or not to offer a new product) and pricing decision

(Garcia-Rada, et. al., 2019).

Consumer Preferences tell us how the consumer would rank any two basket of

goods, assuming these allotments were available to the consumer at no cost. baskets or

bundles is a collection of goods or services that an individual might consume


17

(Meyerding, & Merz, 2018). The tastes of a consumer can be represented by indifference

curves. These are based on the assumptions that the consumer can rank baskets of goods

according to individual preferences, tastes are consistent and transitive, and the consumer

prefers more of a good to less. An indifference curve shows the various combinations of

two goods that give the consumer equal satisfaction. Higher indifference curves refer to

more satisfaction and lower indifference curves to less. Indifference curves are negatively

sloped, cannot intersect, and are convex to the origin. The marginal rate of substitution

(MRS) measures how much of a good the consumer is willing to give up for one

additional unit of the other good and remain on the same indifference curve. Indifference

curves also generally exhibit diminishing MRS (Gidlöf, et. al., 2017).

Knowing consumer preference equips you to achieve guaranteed customer

satisfaction, effective marketing strategies, improved brand image, and customer loyalty

(Azizan, & Yusr, 2019). Today’s consumers are too smart to buy their needs

through various means. But before buying their needs, they go through various

online sites and social media review about product performances and price. While

surfing this information they can able to evaluate its real value and price advantages,

since online establishment need not spend cost for showroom with staff (Ioanas, 2020).

The users review about the product performances and problems faced during are shared

in the social media now a day. The manufacturer of the product is also encouraging this

customer reviews in the social media, which helps the manufacturer to modify the
18
Republic of the Philippines

COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTRY
Sipalay Campus
Brgy. Gil Montilla, Sipalay City, Negros Occidental

products to meet the customers’ expectation. Now it becomes the habit of the consumers

to go through this review before buying any product.

Consumers preferred to buy the perishable goods and day to day requirements in

the local market as these products are low-cost products. Whereas for buying costly and

one time buying products they analyze the products reviews submitted by users in the

social media before buying. They also compare the brick and matter market price with

the online marketing price. Then only they are taking their buying decision

(Ramachandran, & Basariya, 2020). The research takes place in the traditional studies

about the "decision-making" consumer's typical products. There are many scientific

contributions from different disciplines, including philosophy and psychology, which

have dealt with aspects of buying behavior related to typical products. These products

convey messages relating to the area of origin (in terms of culture and environment) and

food security (including nutritional aspects).

Recently, scientific contributions based on "neurological" investigative techniques

have been developed on consumer behaviors. They have a relevant interest in the

scientific community because they can be a valid instrument to understand the cognitive

and emotional processes on "the preferences expressed". This is a new theoretical

approach known as "neuromarketing" (Usatenko, & Pashkevych, 2021). Consumer

preference is a term that refers to consumers' choices to maximize their satisfaction.

Consumers have some degree of control over the type of goods they buy, but they cannot

always choose what they want. Consumer preference is a theory that has been around for
19
Republic of the Philippines
CENTRAL PHILIPPINES STATE UNIVERSITY
COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTRY
Sipalay Campus
Brgy. Gil Montilla, Sipalay City, Negros Occidental

decades. It has been used to explain the behavior of consumers. Consumer preference can

be applied in many different ways, such as marketing, advertising, product design, etc.

The theory states that consumers are influenced by their own preferences, the preferences

of others, and the context in which they make decisions.

Consumers are also influenced by social norms and cultural values, which can be

seen as social pressure to conform to certain behaviors or beliefs (Sugden, 2018). In

economics, consumer preference is a concept that refers to the choices consumers make

to maximize their satisfaction. Consumers have some degree of control over the type of

goods they buy, but they cannot always choose what they want. Consumer preference is a

key factor in the economy. It is one of the most important factors influencing demand,

supply, and price (O'Grady, & O'Grady, 2017).

Consumer preference theory is a valuable tool for marketers to understand what

consumers want and how they react to different marketing strategies. It helps them create

effective marketing campaigns based on consumer needs and wants. Utility is a

consumer's satisfaction from consuming a good or service (Sovacool, & Hess, 2017).

Knowing consumer preference equips you to achieve guaranteed customer satisfaction,

effective marketing strategies, improved brand image, and customer loyalty (Rahman, et.

al., 2020). Paying attention to customers is key to understanding their likes and dislikes.

It may seem an uphill task to engage in all the above-mentioned activities just to

understand clients. However, the rewards are great. Firstly, you will greatly improve the

image of your organization. Secondly, you get numerous repeat sales and even referrals.
20

Note that the opinion of customers matters a lot. This is because most people will rely on

their friends, relatives and colleagues to tell them the best products and service providers.

Therefore, the negative experience of a single client can send away tons of

potential clients. It is therefore important that an organization invests as much as possible

in understanding customer preferences (Savelli, et. al., 2019). Understanding customer

preferences is very important whether you are selling a product or offering a service. This

is because customers are the determiners of how successful a company becomes. After

all, where will profits come from if not your customers? Customer care is all about

sticking to the promises you make to customers.

However, you can only satisfy your customer’s needs if you get to understand

them to an extent that you can anticipate their needs and deliver beyond their

expectations (Hajli, et. al., (2020). Understanding preferences and behavior, gathering

intelligence from a variety of sources and – most of all – continuously acting upon them

is what increases revenue and loyalty. And, even as a digital marketer, don’t just look at

your data-driven marketing dashboards or the buyer personas you have created. Take the

Voice of the Customer (VoC) into account and get quantitative and qualitative output.

Get out to talk with real customers. Engage in real conversations, even giving your

customers a call now and then, sending them a mail or just asking them questions

whenever you meet them or have to chance to do so (Shin, et. al., 2018).

Customer preferences isn’t just about reacting to what the customer wants.

Anticipating a customer’s needs is as important as reacting. Knowing and understanding

Republic of the Philippines

COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTRY
Sipalay Campus
Brgy. Gil Montilla, Sipalay City, Negros Occidental

your customer’s preferences before they buy allows you to create an even stronger

experience. While knowing a customer’s preferences may help sales, you must also look

at this as a customer service opportunity by adapting to these likes, dislikes, and any

special requests a customer might have (Ahani, et. al., 2019).

Consumer demand

Consumer demand is an economic measure of a group's desire for a product or service

based on availability. It represents the buying habits of consumers and helps determine

the purchasing trends of specific populations (Wang, et. al., 2018). For businesses,

understanding demand is vital when making decisions about inventory, pricing, and

aiming for a particular profit. Consumers who have an understanding of demand can

make confident decisions about what products to buy and when to buy them (Yan, et. al.,

2018). There are two types of demand known as aggregate demand and individual

demand. Aggregate demand refers to the average or overall demand of consumers in a

market, while individual demand refers to the demand of only one consumer (Morris, &

Walley, 2022).

Consumer demand is defined as the ‘willingness and ability of consumers to

purchase a quantity of goods and services in a given period of time, or at a given point in

time’. Merely being willing to make a purchase does not constitute effective demand –

willingness must be supported by an ability to pay. In short, desire needs purchasing

power to turn it into effective demand. Purchasing power is determined by current


22
Republic of the Philippines
CENTRAL PHILIPPINES STATE UNIVERSITY
COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTRY
Sipalay Campus
Brgy. Gil Montilla, Sipalay City, Negros Occidental

consumer income (or disposable savings) in relation to the current price level (Faith,

2018). A demand arises after a customer desire something and has the ability and

willingness to buy. Lowering a price can increase demand by making the price

affordable, but the desire must already exist in the customer before you can turn that

desire into demand (Macaulay, 2020). For businesses, understanding demand is vital

when making decisions about inventory, pricing, and aiming for a particular profit.

Consumers who have an understanding of demand can make confident decisions

about what products to buy and when to buy them (Timoshenko, & Hauser, 2019).

Market factors affecting demand of consumer goods. The demand for a good increases or

decreases depending on several factors. This includes the product's price, perceived

quality, advertising spend, consumer income, consumer confidence, and changes in taste

and fashion (Alsokkar, et. al., 2023). The fundamental assumption in the theory of free

markets is that of consumer sovereignty, with consumer demand the dominant market

force. Without demand there would be no sales, or sales revenue, and no profit. The

greater the demand, the greater the incentive for entrepreneurs to enter a market, and the

higher the probability that a market will form (Towse, & Hernández, 2020).

Supply refers to the amount of goods available for purchase by consumers in the

market at any given time. Demand refers to the amount of a commodity or service that

consumers are willing and able to purchase at a specified price. The relationship between

supply and demand is indirect, meaning that when supply increases, prices decrease and

demand increases. When supply reduces, prices rise and demand goes down. The nexus

between these two concepts derives the law of supply and demand critical to the

understanding of how a competitive market operates (Baqaee, & Farhi,2022). Even

though the focus in economics is on the relationship between the price of a product and

how much consumers are willing and able to buy, it is important to examine all of the

factors that affect the demand for a good or service (Zhou, et. al., 2019). These factors

include:

Price of the Product

There is an inverse (negative) relationship between the price of a product and the

amount of that product consumers are willing and able to buy. Consumers want to buy

more of a product at a low price and less of a product at a high price. This inverse

relationship between price and the amount consumers are willing and able to buy is often

referred to as “The Law of Demand” (Ahmed, et. al., , 2018).

The Consumer's Income

The effect that income has on the amount of a product that consumers are willing

and able to buy depends on the type of good we're talking about. For most goods, there is

a positive (direct) relationship between a consumer's income and the amount of the good

that one is willing and able to buy. In other words, for these goods when income rises the

demand for the product will increase; when income falls, the demand for the product will

decrease. We call these types of goods normal goods (Kueng, 2018). However, for some

goods the effect of a change in income is the reverse. For example, think about a low-

quality (high fat-content) ground beef. You might buy this while you are a student,

because it is inexpensive relative to other types of meat. But if your income increases

enough, you might decide to stop buying this type of meat and instead buy leaner cuts of

ground beef, or even give up ground beef entirely in favor of beef tenderloin. If this were

the case (that as your income went up, you were willing to buy less high-fat ground beef),

there would be an inverse relationship between your income and your demand for this

type of meat (Rakotosamimanana, & De Kock, 2020). We call this type of good an

inferior good. There are two important things to keep in mind about inferior goods. They

are not necessarily low-quality goods. The term inferior (as we use it in economics) just

means that there is an inverse relationship between one's income and the demand for that

good. Also, whether a good is normal or inferior may be different from person to person.

A product may be a normal good for you, but an inferior good for another person

(Rashid, 2020). The Price of Related Goods

As with income, the effect that this has on the amount that one is willing and able

to buy depends on the type of good we're talking about. Think about two goods that are

typically consumed together. For example, bagels and cream cheese. We call these types

of goods compliments. If the price of a bagel goes up, the Law of Demand tells us that we

will be willing/able to buy fewer bagels. But if we want fewer bagels, we will also want

to use less cream cheese (since we typically use them together). Therefore, an increase in

the price of bagels means we want to purchase less cream cheese. We can summarize this

by saying that when two goods are complements, there is an inverse relationship between

the price of one good and the demand for the other good (Ostrom, & Ostrom, 2019). On

the other hand, some goods are considered to be substitutes for one another: you don't

consume both of them together, but instead choose to consume one or the other. For

example, for some people Coke and Pepsi are substitutes (as with inferior goods, what is

a substitute good for one person may not be a substitute for another person). If the price

of Coke increases, this may make Pepsi relatively more attractive. The Law of Demand

tells us that fewer people will buy Coke; some of these people may decide to switch to

Pepsi instead, therefore increasing the amount of Pepsi that people are willing and able to

buy. We summarize this by saying that when two goods are substitutes, there is a positive

relationship between the price of one good and the demand for the other good (Pindyck,

2018).

The Tastes and Preferences of Consumers

This is a less tangible item that still can have a big impact on demand. There are

all kinds of things that can change one's tastes or preferences that cause people to want to

buy more or less of a product. For example, if a celebrity endorses a new product, this

may increase the demand for a product. On the other hand, if a new health study comes

out saying something is bad for your health, this may decrease the demand for the

product. Another example is that a person may have a higher demand for an umbrella on

a rainy day than on a sunny day (Wojciechowska-Solis, & Barska, 2021). The

Consumer's Expectations

It doesn't just matter what is currently going on - one's expectations for the future

can also affect how much of a product one is willing and able to buy. For example, if you

COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTRY

Brgy. Gil Montilla, Sipalay City, Negros Occidental

hear that Apple will soon introduce a new iPod that has more memory and longer battery

life, you (and other consumers) may decide to wait to buy an iPod until the new product

comes out (Saniuk, et. al., 2020). When people decide to wait, they are decreasing the

current demand for iPods because of what they expect to happen in the future. Similarly,

if you expect the price of gasoline to go up tomorrow, you may fill up your car with gas

now. So, your demand for gas today increased because of what you expect to happen

tomorrow. This is similar to what happened after Huricane Katrina hit in the fall of 2005.

Rumors started that gas stations would run out of gas. As a result, many consumers

decided to fill up their cars (and gas cans), leading to long lines and a big increase in the

demand for gas. This was all based on the expectation of what would happen (Zang, et.

al., 2023). The Number of Consumers in the Market

As more or fewer consumers enter the market this has a direct effect on the

amount of a product that consumers (in general) are willing and able to buy. For example,

a pizza shop located near a University will have more demand and thus higher sales

during the fall and spring semesters. In the summers, when less students are taking

classes, the demand for their product will decrease because the number of consumers in

the area has significantly decreased (Mgendi, et. al., 2018).

Factors affecting consumer preferences and demand

Consumer preferences describe the reasons for the choices people make when

selecting products and services. Analyzing the factors that determine consumer

preferences helps businesses target their products towards specific consumer groups,

develop new products and identify why some products are more successful than others

(Boz, et. al., 2020). Consumer preference is the subjective taste of individual consumers

that is measured by the satisfaction they derive from an item after they buy it. It is often

expressed through utility. The value of the items consumers buy can be compared by

measuring the utility of the items (Stampa, et. al., 2020).

Demand will be influenced by the taste and preference of the consumer positively.

If the tastes and preferences are positive then demand will be increased and vice versa

(AboElsoud, & Seireg, 2020). Begin with these three simple factors: market trends,

personal motivations and desires, and reviews. Marketers often go straight into a

consumer's personal behavior. Buyer personas and customer avatars all use desires and

motivations as a foundation. But consumers are first influenced on a cultural level (Li, et.

al., 2019). Consumer preferences allow a consumer to rank different bundles of goods

according to levels of utility, or the total satisfaction of consuming a good or service. It is

important to understand that consumer preferences are not dependent upon consumer

income or prices (Uddin, et. al., 2019).

The consumer's social situation, time factors, the reason for their purchases, and

their moods also affect their buying behavior. Your personality describes your disposition

as other people see it. Market researchers believe people buy products to enhance how

they feel about themselves (Hosta, & Zabkar, 2021). Five factors were found

considerably to influence consumer preferences in both markets, namely habit, food

quality, product availability, the tendency to support local food, and the availability of

information and knowledge (Kumar, & Smith, 2018). A large number of factors

influence our behaviour. Kotler and Armstrong (2008) classify these as: Psychological

(motivation, perception, learning, beliefs and attitudes) Personal (age and life-cycle stage,

occupation, economic circumstances, lifestyle, personality and self concept) Social

(reference groups, family, roles and status) Cultural (culture, subculture, social class

system) (Slabá, 2019). The main social factors affecting consumer behavior are family,

roles and status. Social factors have a direct impact on the consumption and purchasing

behavior of people. Consumer behavior is an action that affects not only individuals and

societies, but also countries and national economies (Yue, et. at., 2020). The economic

factors that most affect the demand for consumer goods are employment, wages,

prices/inflation, interest rates, and consumer confidence (Tarkom, & Ujah, 2023).

Consumer tastes and preferences directly impact the demand for a business's

product or service. These preferences constantly change, which makes it challenging to

predict what they might be in the future. One recognizable divide in consumer

preferences stems from individual customers and family consumers (Alzoubi, et. al.,

2022).

Three main factors work together to predict consumer behavior: emotions, situation, and

personality: Emotions – Humans use feelings as information about objects, tasks,

products, and people. These emotions are flexible and context-specific (Cohen, et. al.,

2018).

Changes in tastes of consumers shift the demand curve. If consumer tastes change so that

they like a product more, the demand curve shifts to the right. This is because consumers

now want to buy more of the product at all prices (Nagle, & Muller, 2018).

Eight (8) factors that influence consumer behavior the most

– Age.

It is undoubtedly an essential factor. The reaction, as a consumer, of an 18-year-

old teenager has nothing to do with that of a 68-year-old veteran. The needs are also

different. With regard to the latter, there is a curious phenomenon. At the moment we are

born, our requirements are usually very basic (food, care, etc.). As we reach adulthood

and enter into it, our life becomes more complex and with it our needs become more

complex. In recent years, however, old age brings us back to more fundamental demands,

such as those of our childhood (Mora, et. al., 2018).

– Culture.

This is another essential factor. Culture (and education as part of it) largely

determines the individual’s way of being and the decisions they make. The purchasing

attitude of a person educated in the Caucasus mountains has little to do with that of a

person trained in technological Tokyo. Their needs will also be different. It will be

something you have to bear in mind, especially if you want your products to reach a large

number of people living in different parts of the world (Shavitt, & Barnes, 2020).

– The socio-economic level.

Some entrepreneurs, for example in the luxury goods sector, know well what we

are talking about. Nothing has anything to do with how a wealthy person buys with

someone who has difficulty making ends meet. Both the products and how to approach

one group or another will differ greatly. Some will be reached through factors such as

aesthetics and exclusivity, and for others conditions such as durability or price will be

more important. But don’t forget, everyone deserves the same respect (Daz, et. al., 2020).

– Perception.

We humans are sensory beings. We have a series of receptors (commonly known

as senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch) that serve us to move around the world,

and of course to make decisions. Marketing and advertising are well aware of the

importance of perception as one of the factors influencing consumer behaviour. Concepts

such as sensory marketing, or even emotional marketing have been developing over the

last few decades on the knowledge of the influence of perceptions in making the purchase

decision. However, it is worth remembering that there are many factors that influence

people’s perception of a product or service, such as brand image, customer experience,

etc. (Aschemann-Witzel, 2018).

– Attitude.

There are needs and needs, and to each their own. It has nothing to do with buying

paper towels or having a cup of coffee with buying an anniversary present or a home.

Some purchases are routinary, almost thoughtless, as a habit, but people can spend days

or even weeks trying to decide about others. The attitude with which your potential

customers approach your products or services will depend on what they are. Think about

this when planning what you want to offer and how you want to do it (Kim Dang, et. al.,

2018).

– Trends.

Either we like them or not, trends exist. Some people get off – to a greater or

lesser extent – their influence, while others are so convinced of their importance that they

get to call themselves “fashion-victims”. Trends are an expression of market trends, that

powerful force that every businessman would want to be able to foresee. Whatever your

sector, you’ll have to take them into account if you want to survive (Sung, & Fong,

2018).

– Personality.

It is undoubtedly the most difficult factor to differentiate. The personality of a

human being is influenced by factors such as those we have already seen (age, culture,

socio-economic level, etc.), but also by many others. Education, or life experience are

crucial. But also genetic and biological conditioning factors. It is very difficult to know in

depth the personality of human beings. Even self-knowledge is not an easy task. But there

is no doubt that personality is a determining factor when deciding on the purchasing

process. That’s why it’s so important to know your customers as well as possible (Lin, et.

al., 2019).

– Experience.
32

Brgy. Gil Montilla, Sipalay City, Negros Occidental

It is undoubtedly a determining factor. People have memory, and they also use it

when they are shopping. That’s why customer experience is so important in the

purchasing process. Getting the customer to have a good memory of your products or

services is as meticulous a task as it is important. If you don’t succeed, it will be difficult

for your company to survive for a long time. If you do, they’ll be more likely to come

back to you and speak well of your business to friends, family and acquaintances (Jiang,

et. al., 2018).

Factors affecting consumer preferences and demand for chicken meat

Chicken meat is preferred to beef meat because of its cheaper prices, low fat, easy

access and easier production conditions. In 2010, the average consumption of chicken

meat in the world is 12.5 kg. The average consumption of pork is 13.5 kg, beef meat is 8

kg, sheep and goat meat are 1.6 kg. The consumption of chicken meat in the world is

95.156.000 tons.

While considering the consumption of chicken by the continents, the highest rate

is 39% in Asia, and respectively, 38% in America, 18% Europe and 5% Africa between

the years of 2008 and 2010 (Santhi, et. al., 2020). A factor that has a significant effect on

the demand for chicken meat is the family income factor. Factors in the price of chicken

meat, broiler chicken meat price, age, number of family members, education level and

taste level did not significantly affect the demand for chicken meat (Zhang, et. al., 2018).

One reason for chicken's affordability is production efficiency.

Chicken is the most sustainable of all land-based animal proteins, demanding

fewer natural resources, like agricultural land and water, or other resources, such as

electricity and gas (Kleyn, & Ciacciariello, 2021). When purchasing meat and poultry, it's

important to use your senses of touch, smell and sight. Always make sure the meat is firm

to the touch, and check that they packaging doesn't have any tears, holes or excessive

amounts of liquid. It should also be cold to the touch and have no odor (Damaziak, et. al.,

2019). The most important factor in the purchase and subsequent consumption of meat

and meat products is the perception of quality, percentage of meat, freshness, price and

origin ().

A factor that has a significant effect on the demand for chicken meat is the family income

factor (Predanocyová, et. al., 2019).

Nutrition, harmful effects, and availability of meat products are the important

factors that influence purchasing decisions among higher income (Udomkun, et. al.,

2018). Factors associated with willingness to consume the lab-grown meat products were

positive beliefs regarding eating experience (enjoyment), safety, and animal welfare (de

Oliveira Padilha, et. al., 2022). The consumers made choices between the attributes of

Ghanaian chicken and imported chicken. Five main attributes of broiler namely taste,

price, and convenience (Asante-Addo, 2020).

Consumers are showing their demand for convenience in the choices that they

make, including which retailers they will spend their time and money with. The report

shows that 72% of consumers are “much more likely” or “significantly more likely” to

Brgy. Gil Montilla, Sipalay City, Negros Occidental

choose a retailer based on convenience (Shirani, et. al., 2020). As a result of the analyses

made, it has been determined that organic chicken meat naturalness perception, value-

quality perception, and especially to health (Kaygisiz, et. al., 2019). Some examples of

these influences that contribute to an individual's food choices include individual factors,

such as knowledge, personal taste preference, mood, hunger level, health status, special

diet requirements, ethnicity, and personal income (Chen, & Antonelli, 2020). Demand for

health conservatives depends on the level of consumption of an individual in case of

illness; the amount of consumption can differ according to the factors affecting the

demand, such as income, service price, education, norms, social traditions, and quality

(Donthu, & Gustafsson, 2020).

A food rich in protein, chicken can help with weight management and reduce the

risk of heart disease. Chicken contains the amino acid tryptophan, which has been linked

to higher levels of serotonin (the “feel good” hormone) in our brains (Smethers, & Rolls,

2018). According to Michel Grossman, consumers have a demand for health for two

reasons: 1. Health is a consumption commodity. It makes the consumers feel better

(Elahi, 2022). Mood may affect different factors at different stages of the buying process

(Zhu, et. al., 2019). The richer the emotional content of a brand or product's mental

representation, the more likely the shopper will buy and the consumer will become a

loyal user. We all know that emotion can be communicated effectively in advertising and

that this attraction is emotional, more than it is rational (Zavadskas, et. al., 2019). “Better

Mood” Chicken contains the amino acid tryptophan, which has been linked to higher

Brgy. Gil Montilla, Sipalay City, Negros Occidental

levels of serotonin (the “feel good” hormone) in our brains (Cabeca, 2019). Several

factors influencing food consumers' behavior for chicken meat were identified such as

health, natural content, taste preferences, food attitudes, and budget (Nemeth, et. al.,

2019). Sensory appeal was the key determinant influencing purchase intention,

consumption, and satisfaction of consumers towards convenience food (Imtiyaz, et. al.,

2021). Sensory marketing leverages all five senses to influence perceptions, memories,

and learning processes, with the aim of manipulating consumers' motivations, desires,

and behavior (Ali, & Srivastava, 2022). Several expectations, attitudes, relative benefits,

and myths play a role when consumers consider purchasing natural-hyped products such

as chicken meat (Wassenaar, et. al., 2019).

Consumers perceive organic foods as more nutritious, natural, and

environmentally friendly than non-organic or conventional foods (Gundala, & Singh,

2021).

Factors affecting consumer preferences and demand for duck meat

The Global Duck Meats market is anticipated to rise at a considerable rate during

the forecast period, between 2022 and 2028. In 2021, the market is growing at a steady

rate and with the rising adoption of strategies by key players, the market is expected to

rise over the projected horizon (Whitnall, & Pitts, 2019).

Global demand for meat is growing: over the past 50 years, meat production has

more than tripled. The world now produces more than 340 million tonnes each year. But
36
Republic of the Philippines
CENTRAL PHILIPPINES STATE UNIVERSITY
COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTRY
Sipalay Campus
Brgy. Gil Montilla, Sipalay City, Negros Occidental

the production of meat has large environmental impacts – increasing greenhouse gas

emissions, agricultural land and freshwater use (Whitton, et. al., 2021). The rise in the

global demand for duck meat can be attributed to the increase in health benefits

associated with its consumption. This rise in demand is substantiated by an expansion of

production capacities by major vendors. This increases the choices available to customers

in the market (He, et. al., 2020). The meat of native ducks is often characterized by

higher nutritional value (more protein, less fat), fibrillarity (lower muscle fiber diameter),

better sensory attributes (juiciness and tenderness, taste and aroma intensity, and

desirability) compared with commercial hybrid ducks (Kokoszyński, et. al., 2020).

Duck meat is an excellent source of protein. Protein keeps us healthy by building and

repairing our muscles, skin and blood. Duck meat is an excellent source of iron,

providing 50% of the iron we need in a day. Iron helps make healthy blood that flows

through our bodies, giving us energy and making us grow (Chae, 2022). Duck is a great,

rich, juicy, and much more flavorful alternative to chicken or turkey. While it is a fattier

meat, it is still a great dish to enjoy occasionally. Moreover, compared to other poultry

meats, it has more health benefits and is richer in vitamins and minerals (Chen, 2022).

Ducks are waterfowl, meaning their meat is covered in a thick layer of fat that

helps keep them afloat. As a result, a five-pound duck will yield fewer servings per

person than a five-pound chicken—the extra fat makes the bird heavier, but not actually

meatier (Levine, 2022). Duck meat offers consumers who are watching their diets the

best of both worlds — it can be lower in fat and cholesterol than beef or pork, but has a
37
Republic of the Philippines
CENTRAL PHILIPPINES STATE UNIVERSITY
COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTRY
Sipalay Campus
Brgy. Gil Montilla, Sipalay City, Negros Occidental

rich, hearty flavor and texture like red meat. What's more, duck is extremely versatile and

can be incorporated into a variety of cuisines (Adams, 2021).

The advantage of duck over chicken is Ducks are generally healthier, Ducks are

more cold-hardy, Ducks are more heat-tolerant, Ducks are quieter, Duck eggs are

superior to chicken eggs, Ducks lay more regularly, Ducks adhere to a far less aggressive

pecking order (Delpont, et. al., 2021). Duck is lean like chicken. Farm-raised Pekin duck

meat is lower in fat than many other proteins. In fact, duck meat has less than half the fat

of many cuts of beef and pork. And a 3-ounce boneless, skinless duck breast is leaner

than a 3-ounce portion of boneless, skinless chicken breast (Sankaralingam, & Mahanta,

2022). A 3-ounce portion of boneless, skinless duck breast is leaner and has fewer

calories than a similar portion of boneless, skinless chicken breast.

In fact, it is almost on par with turkey breast according to the USDA (Barbut, &

Leishman, 2022). It has a richer taste because it contains more fat than chicken. Duck fat

has a lower melting point than beef or pork fat and melts at 14 degrees Celsius, below

body temperature, so it melts in your mouth and tastes good even when cold (Mafruchati,

2020). For people with issues such as high cholesterol, or other diet-based restrictions,

chicken is a go-to as it's generally easy on the stomach and is a much leaner meat.

However, despite its higher fat content, duck has nutritional value. Healthy animal fat is

necessary in most diets, and duck is rich in iron and copper (Villaflores, et. al., 2019).

Duck fat contains less saturated fat and high more unsaturated fats compared to pork lard

and beef tallow, and it may confer some health benefits related to lowering blood
38

cholesterol and glucose, but more research is needed (Scialabba, 2022). Duck meat isn't

tastier than chicken.

Duck meat is juicy, but it has an earthy and gamey flavor that many people don't

like. Chicken is a white meat that gets its taste from the seasonings and marinades used

on it (Kperegbeyi, et. al., 2021). Consumers prefer duck meat because of its delicate

flavor and texture, as well as its nutritional value because it has appreciable amounts of

digestible (Wang, et. al., 2021).

CHAPTER III

Research Design and Methodology

This chapter presented and contained the Research Design, Locale of the study,

Respondents of the study, Sampling Techniques and Procedure, Data gathering

instrument, Validity and Reliability of the research instrument, Data gathering procedure,

and Data analysis to meet and determine the factor influencing the consumer and demand

preferences on chicken meat and duck meat in Sipalay City.

Research Design

This study used a descriptive research design. Descriptive research was an

appropriate choice when the research aimed to identify characteristic, frequencies, trends,

and categories. Descriptive research design was usually defined as a type of quantitative
39
Republic of the Philippines
CENTRAL PHILIPPINES STATE UNIVERSITY
COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTRY
Sipalay Campus
Brgy. Gil Montilla, Sipalay City, Negros Occidental

research, though qualitative research can also be used for descriptive purposes. The

research design should be carefully developed to ensure that the results are valid and

reliable (McCombes, 2019). The research instrument used in the study is adapted from

the study of Mantsho & Hlongwane (2018) entitled, “Consumer perception and

preference between broiler and indigenous chicken meat in Limpopo Province, South

Africa” will be used to gather the data needed to satisfy the problems under study.

With the set of objectives in the study, descriptive - survey design was appropriate to be

used since the primary concern is to determine the factors that influence the consumer

demand and preferences on chicken and duck meat in Sipalay City. Consumer demand

and preferences dimension included in the study will be health, mood, convenience,

sensory appeal, natural content, price, familiarity, ethical concern.

Research Locale

This study will be conducted at seventh-teen (17) Barangay of Sipalay City, 6113,

Negros Occidental, Philippines. Sipalay City is situated in Negros Occidental about

180km south of the provincial capital Bacolod City as well as 180km north of Dumaguete

City. Sipalay is surrounded by the municipalities of Cauayan in the north, Candoni in the

east and Hinobaan in the south; to its west you can find the Sulu Sea. Sipalay is

politically subdivided in 17 barangays: Brgy. 1, Brgy. 2, Brgy. 3, Brgy. 4, Brgy. 5, Brgy.

Cabadiangan, Brgy. Camindangan, Brgy. Canturay, Brgy. Cartagena, Brgy. Cayhagan,

Brgy. Gil Montilla, Sipalay City, Negros Occidental

Nabulao, Brgy. Nauhang, and Brgy. San Jose. 5 of these barangays comprise the urban

core of the city. In 2020, Sipalay City is totally consisted of 16,858 households, the data

of number of households in Sipalay City was gathered from the office of Department of

Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) in Sipalay City.

Sampling Techniques and Procedure

The study utilized the Slovin’s Formula with 95% confidence level in determining

the adequate sample size under the study out of the 16,858 number of households of

Sipalay City. Hence, there were only 376 sample respondents drawn from the year 2020

number of household record of DSWD office of Sipalay City. Researchers divided the

376 samples respondents by 17 Barangay of Sipalay in order to get each sample

respondents per Barangay. There will be 23 households from each Barangay. Only one

respondent who are 18 above will be included in the study. Face-to-face interview

method will be used to gathered the information needed.

The study utilized convenience sampling technique. This technique was a non-

random sampling where members of the target population that meet certain practical

criteria, such as easy accessibility, geographical proximity, availability at a given time, or

the willingness to participate were included for the purpose of the study (Stratton, 2021).

Data Gathering Instrument

The research instrument used in the study is adapted from the study of Mantsho &

Hlongwane (2018) entitled, “Consumer perception and preference between broiler and

indigenous chicken meat in Limpopo Province, South Africa”.

The instrument will be divided into Two (2) parts. Part I includes the

demographic profile of the respondents which include age, sex, marital status, address,

religion, household size, working status, place of resident, source of income, family

monthly income, and educational attainment.

Part II were statements concerning the consumer demand and preference for chicken and

duck meat in Sipalay City which was adapted from the study of Mantsho & Hlongwane

(2018). This comprises of 38-item statements from the study of Mantsho & Hlongwane

(2018) entitled, “Consumer perception and preference between broiler and indigenous

chicken meat in Limpopo Province, South Africa” which are categorized into health,
