Abstract: The consumer's philosophy regarding the eating culture is oriented and more and more focused on a healthy lifestyle. The consumers are more and more aware for the products they should consume. In such circumstances, meat products as very important component of a healthy diet, are taking a significant position in the market among all other products. The goal of these study is to encourage the producers to improve their meat products. By the other side, the consumers would prefer to know what kind of meat they are buying. In this case, the producers should provide a product information regarding the origin of the products, conservation manners etc. All this information can be an added value for the product which can give a chance to the producers to define a better price for their products. In order to identify the consumers' preferences for poultry products we use a questionnaire completed by different consumers from Tirana and Durres regions. There were completed around 250 questioners from different and casual interviewers. The survey information is constructed on socio-demographic data, such as age, sex, education, income.
