Reliability was employed through Cronbachs' Alpha with a=.818 showing the reliability of the questionnaire as acceptable. SPSS/win software was employed for data analysis, while factor analysis method being employed to identify the explaining factors of dependent variable's variance. Results showed that the most important factors in perception of OPs were awareness of CONSUMERS regarding disadvantages of pesticides and chemicals. The most important purchase criteria were good taste and safety. The most important method of presentation was to supply the products supply with appropriate labels. In addition, the results showed that four EFFECTIVE FACTORS explained 69.7 percent of the total variance.
