Main reasons not to purchase local products in Belgium in 2019
As of 2019, the majority of consumers surveyed in Belgium who indicated that they rarely or never purchased local products made this choice because they considered these products to be too expensive. Just over a third of consumers surveyed cited price as the main reason that they never or rarely purchased local products. Meanwhile, five percent of respondents did not think that purchasing locally produced goods made an impact and seldom or never did so as a result.
