Abstract
We conducted a labelled Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) to assess consumers’ Willingness to Pay (WTP) and purchase intentions for fresh hens’ eggs under different production systems (caged, barn, free range and organic). Additional descriptors were introduced regarding the potential reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and water use (0, 10, 20, and 30%). Data was collected using an open-ended questionnaire completed by a representative sample of 1045 Spanish egg consumers. The results of a Random Parameter Logit (RPL) model showed heterogeneous preferences for the different types of eggs, with higher WTP for the production systems ensuring higher animal welfare. There were positive marginal WTPs for reductions in GHG emissions and water use, but only for significant reductions (20 and 30%) with respect to the current situation. Our findings may guide producers and policy makers in the development of more environmentally sustainable egg production systems and their pricing strategies.
