This study explores the factors that affect consumers' willingness
to pay (WTP) for imported offal in Makassar, Indonesia. The primary
data derived from a field survey and hedonic price model are used
for obtaining the estimated results. The paper finds that age,
occupation (OFFICER), level of education (UNIVERSITY
GRADUATE), ethnicity (BUGIS), NON-AFFORDABILITY,
and ACCESSIBILITY significantly affect the WTP for imported
offal in Makassar. Also the marginal implicit price (MIP)
calculation shows that the willingness to pay of higher prices for
imported offal decreases for older consumers. It is also found that
if the price of imported offal in the market increases, the
willingness to pay for the product will decrease.
