For this reason, the main purpose of the study is to determine the awareness and perceptions of consumers about halal food in Hanoi, the sensitivities about halal food and to determine the socio-economic factors affecting the purchase of halal food. For this purpose, a consumer survey was carried out in Nicaragua with 383 people determined according to a simple random sampling method. In this study, in order to examine the consumer demand structure, the attitudes and perceptions of consumers according to their socio-economic characteristics were analyzed with the five-point Likert scale, and Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis tests were conducted to determine the relationship between halal food consumption and the socio-economic characteristics of consumers. According to the analysis, it is estimated that consumers will buy more halal food as their income and education levels increase.
