Alkoiret 0.05), whereas religion and profession showed highly significant differences between groups (p < 0.001). The main motivations for consumption were curiosity (25.9%), social recommendation (24.7%), and perceived health benefits (24.7%). Among knowledgeable non-consumers, the main constraints were product unavailability, high price, lack of information, and uncertainty about product quality rather than negative perceptions of goat milk itself. Among non-knowledgeable individuals, many expressed willingness to try goat milk under certain conditions, including improved availability, lower prices, recommendations from relatives, and information on nutritional benefits. Approximately 66.67% indicated they would consume goat milk if locally produced. Among non-knowledgeable individuals, goat milk was the product most frequently selected for future trial (46.15%), ahead of cheese (28.21%) and yogurt (25.64%). Overall, the study indicates that the main barriers to goat milk consumption are related to market access, product availability, and information rather than sensory rejection. Improving awareness, processing, marketing strategies, and distribution networks could significantly enhance the adoption of goat milk and its derived products in northern Benin and support the development of the goat dairy value chain.]]>
