This study offers insights on consumer acceptance and willingness to pay for
three value-added blueberry products. A modified payment card approach was
used. The analytical framework adopted allows the researcher to attach
straightforward economic interpretation to the estimated impacts of
willingness to pay factors. Results show consumer socio-economic
characteristics are important determinants but play different roles
depending on the products. Information on health benefits may also be
important. However, it is found that outside information or consumer
self-stated awareness of blueberries' health benefits have different
impacts. These impacts may function as substitutes rather than complements
to each other.
