Marketing strategy for organic foods

I wondered about the gap that organic agriculture, which is interested in organic agriculture and organic foods and should have been attracting attention in recent years, has not actually penetrated so much. First, in order to investigate the diversity of consumers' values, we conducted a questionnaire at supermarkets in three cities in Miyazaki Prefecture, clarified the characteristics of the city and consumer purchasing behavior, and concluded a marketing strategy tailored to each. did. I spent a lot of time analyzing the figures collected in the survey at each store and city, but when the results were obtained according to my hypothesis, I felt a sense of accomplishment. In addition, the organic farmer in the internship who participated in the second year had the opportunity to work in the fourth year, and through the experience of actually engaged in agriculture and selling vegetables grown by themselves at supermarkets, I was able to make use of "real" for research.
The various experiences I challenged in four years led to my own growth. Going forward, we will continue to value the attitude of "doing what we are interested in" and try more things.
