This research aims to determine the demographic and economic factors affecting agriculture cooperation activity in Kosovo. Primary data was collected from 249 farmers in Kosovo through structured questionnaires using the random sampling technique. The results show that the level of cooperation among farmers in Kosovo is low due to the lack of trust in the cooperative institutions. The binary logistic regression analysis used in the study shows that location, gender, age, education level, trust, and farm size have significantly influenced the cooperation activity. Findings also highlight that the farmers who live in rural areas, as well as those who are young and have got a higher level of education and trust, show a higher level of activity associated with cooperation, whereas farms managed by (older) men with lower level of education are less likely to cooperate. Estimation indicates that medium sized farms show a high level of cooperation, which can be statistically verified, and only the type of farming has nonsignificant influence in cooperation.

This study examines consumer preferences and willingness to try new peanut products in Kosovo, analyzing the impact of demographic and socioeconomic factors on peanut consumption. A total of 103 respondents participated in the survey, revealing that 89.3% consumed peanuts or peanut products. Among these consumers, 52.2% preferred roasted peanuts, and 35.5% preferred peanut butter. The study identified flavor (68.93%) as the primary driver of consumer preference, with significant emphasis on energy provision (32.04%) and versatility (29.13%). Logistic regression analysis indicated that gender and occupation significantly influenced the willingness to try new foods (p < 0.05). Specifically, males were significantly less likely to try peanut products, with an odds ratio of 0.031 (p = 0.013). Self-employed individuals and students displayed lower willingness compared to full-time workers, with odds ratios of 1.779 (p = 0.022) and 3.173 (p = 0.025), respectively. Education level (p = 0.101) and monthly income (p = 0.748) did not significantly affect on the readiness to try peanuts. These findings provide insights into consumer behavior and highlight the importance of product attributes and targeted marketing strategies.
