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.

Statement of the Problem

The focus of this study was to determine and explore the factors that influence the

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

Specifically, this study will seek to answer the following questions:

1. What is the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of age, sex, marital

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

income, and educational attainment?

2. What is the extent of consumer demand and preference toward chicken meat

and duck meat?

3. Is there a significant difference on the consumer demand and preferences when

grouped according to their demographic profile?

Statement of Hypotheses

Based on the problems, the following hypothesis were considered.

1. There is no significance difference on the consumer demand and preferences

when grouped according to their demographic profile.

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 behaviour, 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 behaviour 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

Republic of the Philippines

COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTRY

Brgy. Gil Montilla, Sipalay City, Negros Occidental

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).

Scope and Delimitation of the Study

This study will focus on exploring the factors that influence the consumer demand

and preference for chicken and duck meat. The purpose of the study is to explore the

factors that influence the consumer demand and preferences for chicken and duck meat in

Sipalay City. A descriptive research design will use in this study. 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 households of Sipalay City, there were 376 sample

respondents. 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, 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. The statistical tools that will use to analyze and

interpret the data in the study will be dependent on the type of specific problem

formulated. To determine the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of age, sex,

marital status, religion, household size, working status, source of income, family monthly

income, and educational attainment, frequency distribution and percentage count will be

use. To determine the extent of consumer demand and preference toward chicken meat

and duck meat, mean will be use. To determine the significant difference on the

consumer demand and preferences when grouped according to their socio-demographic

profile, LSD and ANOVA will be use.

The data collection will be conducted to 376 sample respondents drawn from the

year 2020 number of households in Sipalay City collected from the DSWD (Department

of Social Welfare and Development) office of Sipalay. This study will be conducted on

_________ to _________, 2023. Demographic profile characteristics of the respondents

to be considered will be age, sex, marital status, religion, household size, working status,

source of income, family monthly income, and educational attainment.

Dimensions on the consumer demand and preferences included in the study will

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

concern.

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.

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 (Meyerding, & Merz, 2018). The tastes of a

consumer can be represented by indifference curves. These are based on the assumptions
17
Republic of the Philippines
CENTRAL PHILIPPINES STATE UNIVERSITY
COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTRY
Sipalay Campus
Brgy. Gil Montilla, Sipalay City, Negros Occidental

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 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
18

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 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. 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,


20
Republic of the Philippines
CENTRAL PHILIPPINES STATE UNIVERSITY
COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTRY

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 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

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 (Donthu, & Gustafsson, 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
22

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


23
Republic of the Philippines
CENTRAL PHILIPPINES STATE UNIVERSITY
COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTRY

Brgy. Gil Montilla, Sipalay City, Negros Occidental

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” (Faith, 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
24

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

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
26
Republic of the Philippines
CENTRAL PHILIPPINES STATE UNIVERSITY
COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTRY
Sipalay Campus
Brgy. Gil Montilla, Sipalay City, Negros Occidental

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 (Shavitt, &

Barnes, 2020). 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
27
Republic of the Philippines
CENTRAL PHILIPPINES STATE UNIVERSITY
COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTRY
Sipalay Campus
Brgy. Gil Montilla, Sipalay City, Negros Occidental

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 (De
28
Republic of the Philippines
CENTRAL PHILIPPINES STATE UNIVERSITY
COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTRY
Sipalay Campus
Brgy. Gil Montilla, Sipalay City, Negros Occidental

Mooij, 2019). 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 recognisable 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
29

CENTRAL PHILIPPINES STATE UNIVERSITY
COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTRY
Sipalay Campus
Brgy. Gil Montilla, Sipalay City, Negros Occidental

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 (Boz, 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


30
Republic of the Philippines

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

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-
31
Republic of the Philippines

COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTRY

Brgy. Gil Montilla, Sipalay City, Negros Occidental

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.

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
33

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 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
34

COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTRY

Brgy. Gil Montilla, Sipalay City, Negros Occidental

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 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

(Biswas, 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
35
Republic of the Philippines
CENTRAL PHILIPPINES STATE UNIVERSITY
COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTRY
Sipalay Campus
Brgy. Gil Montilla, Sipalay City, Negros Occidental

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 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
36

CENTRAL PHILIPPINES STATE UNIVERSITY
COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTRY

Brgy. Gil Montilla, Sipalay City, Negros Occidental

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 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 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
38
Republic of the Philippines

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 Sipalay City Public Market, 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.

Brgy. Mambaroto, Brgy. Manlucahoc, Brgy. Maricalum, Brgy. 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.

Respondents of the Study

The respondents under the study will be the residents of Sipalay City. The

numbers of households were determined using Slovin’s formula. Selections of

respondents will be done randomly. Out of the 16,858 number of households of Sipalay

City there were only 376 sample respondents. The demographic profile characteristics of

the respondents to be considered will be age, sex, marital status, religion, household size,

working status, source of income, family monthly income, and educational attainment.

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.

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, S. J.

(2021). Population research: convenience sampling strategies. Prehospital and disaster

Medicine, 36(4), 373-374).

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, 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
