3 Background This is one of three reports for the general market tracking study. The objective of this report is to monitor changes among target versus non-target audience consumers on a number of specific measures such as the following: Avocado usage Drivers and barriers to usage Nutrition and wellness importance and association Food safety Advertising and PR efforts awareness Demographics Separate reports will be issued for the following: Trended report of avocado user groups Regional report cards 3

4 Background (Contd.) audience consumers are defined as follows: Prepare home cooked meals a few times per week or more often; Strongly or somewhat agree with the following two statements: I put a lot of time and effort into preparing healthy homemade meals I like to cook homemade meals because I can control the ingredients Buy 37 or more avocados per year (Heavy or Super User). The target audience segmentation has been completed at the total U.S. level among avocado consumers age 25+. *Calculation based on frequency of buying multiplied by average number bought per occasion. 4

5 Background (Contd.) When This wave of the study was completed from April 14 to April 24, Spring waves have generally been completed in February/March and Fall waves have been completed in late summer or early Fall. Who 2,409 grocery shoppers age 25+ Note: 2007/2008 was restricted to age How Self-administered web based survey 5

6 Summary Audience Almost one-third of all respondents fall into the target audience, defined as food and wellness involved and being heavy or super avocado consumers. This has remained fairly steady over time. The average target audience respondent purchases 112 avocados per year, compared to 34 avocados among nontarget respondents (which also includes non-avocado purchasers). Drivers and Barriers to Avocado Consumption audience respondents continue to embrace all of the reasons for purchasing avocados to a stronger degree than seen among non-target respondents. Most of these reasons have remained fairly consistent over time among the target audience. However, there were two improvements: Significant increase for good for you from 88% to 93%. Directional increase for nutritional benefits from 87% to 90%. Top drivers for the target audience are a variety of uses, taste, being good for you, nutritional benefits and quality. Similar proportions of target audience and non-target audience respondents have decided not to purchase avocados due to the price (57% of target and 59% of non-target). The price barrier is slightly higher for the target audience ($1.88 vs. $1.75). At the same time, price is infrequently a barrier to purchase for either group. Non-target respondents are more price sensitive than target respondents. Fat content, while a relatively small barrier overall, did increase among non-target respondents (17% up to 22%). 6

7 Summary Nutrition and Wellness As seen last year, target audience respondents place more importance on all of the nutritional and health & wellness benefits than do non-target respondents. They also remain more likely to associate avocados with these benefits. Over time, association of avocados with various nutritional benefits has fluctuated among the target audience. While still strong, scores did decrease this year for a number of benefits. This included: Contain antioxidants Contain natural plant sterols Contain iron High in calories (a good change) as well as low in calories (a bad change) Contain folate Association of avocados with the following health benefits has increased over time: Nutrient boosting/helps with nutrients and antioxidant absorption Healthy aging Healthy blood pressure As seen last year, target audience respondents are more likely than non-target respondents to think avocados are healthier than all the other fruits, vegetables and healthy sources of fat. audience respondents remain more confident in the safety of various foods, and especially for avocados. audience respondents remain more concerned about GMO. While the majority of them do not know if avocados are GMO free or not, those who believe they do know think that about one-third of all avocados are GMO an improvement over last year. This is a higher level than seen among non-target respondents. 7

8 Advertising and PR Impact Summary Awareness of the Love One Today logo is significantly higher among target audience respondents than non-target respondents (23% vs. 7%). However, it has declined among the target audience since last year. audience respondents are more likely than non-target respondents to claim awareness of news articles related to the health benefits of avocados. Awareness of such articles had been increasing over time among the target audience. This year, there was a significant decrease. Demographics audience respondents vary from non-target respondents in terms of being: Younger Married/partnered Have a higher household income In a larger household size and have children Better educated and employed full-time Of Hispanic origin 8
