Abstract

In order to discover the factors influencing consumers behaviour and their willingness to shop online for fresh livestock products, this paper conducts relevant surveys by questionnaires distributed online and analyzes them in different ways. We use general statistical analysis methods, binomial logistic regression models and ordinal logistic regression models. The main conclusions of the paper are as follows: 1) consumers’ age, education level and family monthly income significantly affect their buying behavior and willingness to shop online for fresh livestock products; 2) consumer’ attention to the price significantly affects the consumers willingness to shop online for fresh livestock products; 3) the characteristics of fresh livestock products affect consumers’ online shopping behavior and their willingness; 4) the characteristics of online sales, in a certain extent, attract consumers to purchase fresh livestock products through the internet. And on this basis, some suggestions were put forward.
