Knowledge, utility and preferences for beef label traceability information: A cross-cultural market analysis comparing Spain and Brazil. 2021 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted The consumer environment determines consumers’ buying behavior and product preferences, and understanding these factors allows businesses in the industry to identify market demands. In view of the different contexts, Spain and Brazil, there are differences in the consumption of beef, in the production and the regulatory process concerning beef, and in particular the traceability system. The traceability system is mandatory in Spain and voluntary in Brazil. From these prerogatives, this cross-cultural study carried out through a self-administered questionnaire with 2132 Spanish and Brazilian beef buyers/consumers, aimed at comparing and understanding the familiarity with the bovine traceability system and traceability information of the label as a food security indicator. It is concluded that traceability information is well received by consumers as an attribute of credibility, and consumers are interested in ensuring that the item they buy is of known and reliable origin. But more incentives may help clarify the advantages of purchasing food with certified traceability, making it more effective for consumers to use this knowledge. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 5.561 2021 FOOD SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 35 / 144 = 0.243 2021 Q1 T1 0.726 2021 Food Science 2021 Q1 Plant Science 2021 Q1 Microbiology 2021 Q1 Health Professions (miscellaneous) 2021 Q1 4.1 2021 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Campo, María del Mar Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-8180-8663 Maza, María Teresa Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-2266-4655 5011 235 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
