Vegetable production in emerging markets, especially in contemporary Indonesia, still demonstrates erratic characteristics in terms of quantity and quality. Since the output static depends on several factors that cannot be controlled, such as weather, pests, and any other environment condition. Vegetable factories can represent an alternative solution for managing these problems. However, it is crucial to identify those factors considered relevant by consumers when purchasing vegetables to increase the success of vegetable factories. The survey conducted involved 680 respondents in various major cities throughout Indonesia. The results of the analysis show there to be five product-related factors considered necessary by consumers, namely: availability, physical characteristics, physical condition, branding and packaging and, finally, value for money. This research has practical implication, especially for individual or company that wants to introduce a concept of a vegetable factory in Indonesia. The five-product related factors from this research can be used to define the value proposed to the customer and the marketing strategy to make sure the business will sustain.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Agriculture,Emerging market,Factor analysis,Fresh product,Vegetable factory[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]The authors gratefully acknowledge Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education, Republic of Indonesia and Universitas Padjadjaran for research funding of the National Priority Research Program.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.18517/ijaseit.9.6.10087[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
