Yogurt is one of the main products of dairy industry in Albania. The dairy sector is considered a priority sector by the government in the context of agriculture and rural development given also the large number of farmers and other actors who are part of this value chain. This study assesses consumer preferences for yogurt in urban areas of Tirana, Albania with special focus on food safety related certification. The paper applies conjoint choice analysis based on a face-to-face survey with 250 consumers.
