Label(NI respondents) Where possible, I prefer to buy food produced in the UK and Ireland
Question text I am now going to read you a number of statements that people have made about buying food, and I would like you to tell me the extent to which you agree or disagree with each statement: When buying food, I check to see where it was produced. Where possible, I prefer to buy food produced in the UK and Ireland. I have greater trust in the quality of food produced in the UK and Ireland, compared to food imported from overseas. Food produced in the UK and Ireland tastes better than food imported from overseas. It is important to support farmers and food producers in the UK and Ireland. Food produced in the UK and Ireland tends to be more expensive than food imported from overseas. I would be prepared to pay more for food that is produced in the UK and Ireland.
