Understanding cross-country differences in attribute preferences and sociodemographic influences is critical to inform marketing strategies and policy interventions targeting organic food consumption. To perform a comparative study across Portugal, Spain, and Greece, regular organic consumers were surveyed (250 per country) using a culturally adapted Best\u2013Worst Scaling questionnaire. Socio-demographic variables and ten organic food attributes were analysed using MANOVA, Kruskal\u2013Wallis tests, PCA, and cluster analysis. Spanish and Portuguese consumers prioritised health, environmental impact, absence of GMOs, and certification, while Greeks emphasised price, appearance, taste expectation, and nutrition. Age, gender, and education influenced attribute importance differently across countries, revealing distinct national consumption patterns and preferences. Findings highlight substantial heterogeneity: health and environmental attributes dominate in Portugal and Spain, reflecting strong certification and sustainability awareness, whereas Greek consumers focus on value, sensory qualities, and nutrition, indicating lower organic uptake and stronger price sensitivity. Older and more educated consumers valued certification and provenance, women emphasised health and environmental benefits, and men responded more to convenience and status cues. These patterns suggest that marketing and policy strategies should combine universal motivators with tailored approaches addressing national, demographic, and cultural differences to enhance organic consumption. Cross-country differences reveal the need for context-specific interventions promoting organic food while leveraging common health and sustainability drivers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/foods15010155","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,5]],"date-time":"2026-01-05T08:40:53Z","timestamp":1767602453000},"page":"155","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Cross-National Analysis of Consumer Preferences for Organic Food in Portugal, Spain, and Greece: Socio-Demographic Drivers and Attribute Importance"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9732-2900","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Teresa","family":"Madureira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Research and Development in Agrifood Systems and Sustainability (CISAS), Instituto Polit\u00e9cnico de Viana do Castelo (IPVC), 4900-347 Viana do Castelo, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4135-2286","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fernando","family":"Nunes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Research and Development in Agrifood Systems and Sustainability (CISAS), Instituto Polit\u00e9cnico de Viana do Castelo (IPVC), 4900-347 Viana do Castelo, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5687-7114","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fernando","family":"Mata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Research and Development in Agrifood Systems and Sustainability (CISAS), Instituto Polit\u00e9cnico de Viana do Castelo (IPVC), 4900-347 Viana do Castelo, Portugal"},{"name":"Esta\u00e7\u00e3o Zoot\u00e9cnica Nacional, Instituto Nacional de Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o Agr\u00e1ria e Veterin\u00e1ria, 2500-424 Vale de Santar\u00e9m, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-1491-2194","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mariastela","family":"Vrontaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Food of Animal Origin Laboratory, Animal Science Department, University of Thessaly, 41500 Larisa, Greece"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2263-0436","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Athanasios","family":"Manouras","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Food Chemistry, Biochemistry and Technology Laboratory, Nutrition and Dietetics Department, University of Thessaly, 42132 Trikala, Greece"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0289-6595","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michalis","family":"Koureas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Hygiene and Epidemiology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Thessaly, 41500 Larisa, Greece"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8956-2269","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eleni","family":"Malissiova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Food of Animal Origin Laboratory, Animal Science Department, University of Thessaly, 41500 Larisa, Greece"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9","family":"Veiga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Escola Superior de Tecnologia e Gest\u00e3o (ESTG), Instituto Polit\u00e9cnico de Viana do Castelo (IPVC), 4900-347 Viana do Castelo, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"418","DOI":"10.1016\/j.appet.2018.02.029","article-title":"A Meta-Analytic Study of the Factors Driving the Purchase of Organic Food","volume":"125","author":"Massey","year":"2018","journal-title":"Appetite"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"125","DOI":"10.5937\/AASer1846125G","article-title":"Global Organic Food Market","volume":"23","year":"2018","journal-title":"Acta Agric.
