This is because, organic production is based on the minimum use of inputs, free from pesticides and other products used in agriculture, as well as looking at the environment and its ecological agents. This study seeks to characterize the profile of consumers of organic products. The work was based on the survey survey method, widely used in quantitative studies that evaluate a sample of the population, which includes the characteristics of this study.
