  • Abstract

    In our paper we focus on the clients´ opinion on vegetarian diet, their safety and availability in the Egypt market. The analysis is based on a survey organized in the period between January 2024 and February 2024. From the methodological aspect, basic approaches of descriptive statistics have been used, as well as methods of association measurement. The test of robustness tested Chi-Square statistic. The robustness have been judged based on the p-values. Correlations have been tested through the Contingency coefficient and Cramer's V coefficient. From the survey it can be concluded that even though clients have some idea about vegetarian diet and trust them more compared to other classic food, they think that their market supply is not sufficient. Respondents consider media and internet, as the most important information source that they wish to be informed on vegetarian diet safety and control. Through the statistics of robustness, it was found out that the effect of gender, education, economic and activity had a better information vegetarian diet proved to be statistically significant.
