Abstract

Indonesia imports fruits from around the world to serve people’s demand. Thailand as one of the fruit exporters to Indonesia needs to further explore what influences the consumption of Thai Fruits in Indonesia. Moreover, currently the COVID-19 pandemic likely affects all sectors, including the agriculture sector. This study aims to analyze the relation between socioeconomic characteristics and consumer behavior, particularly the pandemic period, that affects the purchasing decision of Thai Fruits. Using a structured questionnaire, random sampling of 1,736 respondents who shop at 5 All Fresh Supermarket branches were interviewed. The data was analyzed using the chi square test and binary logistic regression. The results found that socioeconomic characteristics such as age, gender, education, occupation, and income had a relation with Thai Fruits purchasing decision. In term of product awareness for instance, quality and taste is the utmost concern for customers. However, during COVID-19 pandemic, the level of customers’ consideration for quality and safety is clearly higher. Therefore, a different strategy is needed to convince consumers. The result also found that tasting experience influences purchasing decision significantly. To enhance international economic development, such agricultural products must respond to the customers’ needs and mutual cooperation between trading countries.JEL Classification:  F13; Q13; Q17

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the tourism sector was the strongest sector in the world economy. The great strength of the tourism sector is proven by the rapid recovery of the sector after the COVID-19 pandemic. The tourism sector includes several things, including exhibitions, expos, and festivals. The purpose of this study was to find out how the rational thinking process of the Bener Meriah Regency government was used in choosing a sector for marketing Gayo coffee. This study used a qualitative approach with interview and observation techniques. The results of this study show that the tourism sector is one of the choices for the Bener Meriah Regency government in marketing Gayo coffee products. The tourism sector, in this case, is exhibition, expo, and festival activities.

Therefore, the Bener Meriah Regency government, taking into account (rational) resources and profits, chose the tourism sector to market Gayo coffee.
