Mexican consumers' attitudes toward irradiated and imported apples

Agribusiness, Volume 41, Issue 3, Page 694-718, Summer 2025.
Abstract This study centers on analyzing Mexican consumers' willingness to pay (WTP) for imported US fresh apples subjected to irradiation, contrasting it with the more prevalent postharvest chemical treatments. We collect data using a survey tool in Qualtrics designed to explore the impact of information dissemination through two distinct narrative ...
