Abstract

We have employed a blend of qualitative and quantitative methodologies to delve into consumer preferences and their willingness to pay (WTP) for sweet cherries. Utilizing semi-structured interviews and a discrete choice experiment, we have discerned crucial cherry attributes. Subsequently, a mixed logit model has been employed to gauge consumer preferences regarding these attributes and their associated WTP. Our findings underscore that consumers of sweet cherries accord significant importance to attributes about appearance and taste. Moreover, they exhibit a willingness to pay the highest premiums for cherries characterized by elevated sweetness, a deep red hue, and a diameter surpassing that of a one-yuan coin. Conversely, their willingness to pay premiums for distinct attributes related to domestically produced cherries is comparatively lower. The outcomes of this study furnish valuable insights for sweet cherry suppliers, especially aiding domestic sweet cherry producers in aligning their strategic planning with the localization trend in the fruit market.
