10 pages., Online via UI electronic subscription., Results of 251 consumer surveys in four UK supermarkets revealed that only 5.6% nominated country of origin as one of the reasons for choosing a fresh food item they had just purchased. However, stated preference surveys in the street found that 21.5% indicated that "food miles" or "the long distance it travels" would stop them buying New Zealand products. "What people say may differ substantially from what they actually do in regard to 'food miles'."
