Inclination of consumers to pay for fresh vegetables without pesticides in Ivory Coast
The organic character and flavor of vegetables are important determinants in consumer choice. Nearly 70% of people surveyed said they were aware of the health risk when consuming processed vegetables. The willingness to pay for organic vegetables increases with education level and age. The overestimation of the price difference between organic and chemical vegetables should be considered when promoting organic products.

How do multi-active farmers in Nord-Pas de Calais balance their agricultural activities with external jobs to enhance their productivity and resilience?
**Interview with Agricultural Experts: Multiactivity in Farming and Consumer Preferences for Organic Vegetables**
**Host:** Welcome, everyone! Today, we have a panel of agricultural experts joining us to discuss two pressing issues in the agricultural world: the organization of work among multi-active farmers in Nord-Pas de Calais and consumer inclinations toward organic vegetables in Ivory Coast. Let’s dive right in.
**Host:** Marine, Clarisse, and Amar, can you elaborate on the five types of multi-activity agricultural work organization you’ve identified? How does the balance between agricultural and external activities affect productivity?
**Marine Chaillard:** Certainly! We’ve seen that multi-active farmers organize their work around different models, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. The interplay between agricultural activities and external jobs often determines how much time and resources farmers can allocate to their crops. Adjusting work schedules and diversifying income sources can enhance their resilience, especially in fluctuating markets.
**Clarisse Ceriani:** Exactly, and it’s fascinating to see how these adjustments reflect both internal farmer strategies and external market pressures. The balance not only impacts productivity but also the farmers’ overall well-being.
**Host:** Interesting points! Now, shifting to the consumer perspective, Wadjamsse and Atsé, what did your research reveal about the willingness of Ivorian consumers to pay for fresh vegetables without pesticides?
**Wadjamsse Beaudelaire Djezou:** Our findings indicate a strong inclination among consumers towards organic vegetables, influenced largely by their awareness of health risks associated with processed options. It’s heartening to know that nearly 70% are conscious of these issues.
**Atsé Éric Noel Aba:** Yes, and we noticed that the willingness to pay for these organic options tends to increase with education and age. However, there’s a crucial point regarding the perception of price differences between organic and conventional vegetables. Many consumers overestimate the price gap, which poses a challenge for marketers of organic products.
**Host:** These insights bring to light critical aspects of consumer behavior and agricultural practices. Let’s open the floor for discussion: Considering the findings about multi-active farming and consumer attitudes towards organic produce, how do you think these factors intersect? Could increased consumer demand for organic vegetables influence how farmers organize their work? What do you think, readers? Join the debate!
