摘要：

The aim of this study is to determine why consumption of safe vegetables remains low despite Vietnamese consumers' wish to consume safe vegetables for the sake of good health. Multiple regression analysis was applied to analyze socio-economic factors that may influence the consumption of safe vegetables. Results showed that price, income, education, age and the number of presence children in a family significantly affected the consumers' decision to use safe vegetables. This study also revealed that there are many issues involved in the consumption of safe vegetables such as: consumers did not know well or trust the quality of safe vegetables; the price of safe vegetables is too high. Therefore, lowering the price; controlling the quality of safe vegetables; educating both producers and consumers about food poisoning and its effects would help to promote the consumption of safe vegetables. © 2006 Asian Network for Scientific Information.
