Abstract
This study examined the relationship between Foreign Brand Admiration,
Product Perceived Quality and Consumer Behaviour among rice consumers in
Nigeria. The study adopts a correlation research design and employs a ques-
tionnaire to collect primary data from 494 respondents in Jigawa, Kaduna, Ka-
no, Katsina, and Kebbi States in 2023. In the process of collecting data, 600
questionnaires were distributed equally to respondents in the five states out of
which 545 were returned. 51 of the returned questionnaires were rejected.
Therefore, there is response rate of 82%. The study employed formula for cal-
culation of the sample size of an unknown population to arrive at 384 respon-
dents, but in order to avoid non-response biasness, the study increased the
sampling size to 600. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) regression tech-
nique is employed for the analysis of the data using SmartPLS 4 statistical soft-
ware. The study is supported by Reasoned Action Theory. The findings show
that the Product Perceived Quality has a positive significant impact on Con-
sumer Behaviour while Foreign Brand Admiration could not influence Con-
sumer Behaviour. The study conducts relevant reliability and validity tests to
ensure the consistencies of the constructs. The study contributes that Foreign
Brand Admiration influenced Consumer Behaviour of rice consumers in Nige-
ria and this provides implications for marketers and policymakers in Nigeria.
