The data analysed in this research comes from 105 people surveyed, where sociodemographic factors, current consumption habits, attributes of organic food and consumption habits influenced by the covid-19 pandemic are analysed. For the analysis of the attributes, the attributes were ranked through the conjoint analysis (CA) method and the Excel 365 regression tool was used to perform the calculations to measure the WTP of onion and organic milk.
