The literature indicates that asymmetric information generates various problems for the actors of financial markets such as incomplete information for investment decisions and lending procedures, misallocation of financial market funds, the underestimating of stock price securities, and poor environmental risk management choices. To this end, this paper develops a game-theoretic approach to examine both the persistent nature of asymmetric information caused by the absence of accurate environmental information and to indicate how a well-organized, trustworthy, internationally agreed auditing accounting certification scheme could play a critical role in limiting the magnitude of this problem.

Methodology: to achieve the purpose of this study, a field research - interview approach was selected. Data was collected through a questionnaire that targeted three groups of people in Cairo city: students at the Faculty of Agriculture at Cairo University, staff of the Faculty of Agriculture at Cairo University, and consumers of Carrefour hypermarket. Respondents were asked to fill in the questionnaire during a face-to-face interview.
Findings: health concern is the first motivation of organic food consumers in Egypt; moreover, it is the first motivation for which consumers are willing to pay an extra premium for organic food over the price of conventional food. High prices of organic products and distrust of organic products’ genuineness are the major barriers towards organic food consumption.
Limitations: future studies in the field of organic food consumption will be more valuable if a broader survey takes place taking into consideration the population from all over the country. More places in Egypt need to be chosen, with other cities and people from all levels included (high class areas, people in popular areas, farmers in rural areas), in order to generalize the results.
Originality: this paper is one of few researches focusing on organic food consumption in Egypt.""
