“…Practices such as organic agriculture, good agricultural practices, cultivation of geographical indication (GI) products and agro-ecological agriculture have become essential for the sustainability of small farms and healthy food production (Giovannucci et al, 2010;Kuşat, 2012;Mancini, 2013;Latruffe et al, 2016;Narin and İnanöz, 2016;McDermott and Wyatt, 2017;Tello and González de Molina, 2017;Migliorini et al, 2018;Fernandez-Ferrin et al, 2019;Uebersax et al, 2022;Boga and Paül, 2023;Cholo et al, 2023). The GI is a sign used on products with a distinctive quality, reputation or other distinguishing characteristic that corresponds to a specific region (Turkish Patent and Trademark Office (TPO), 2022).…”

Geographical indications (GIs) are defined as labels that show the relationship of a product with a certain region. They are of great importance in terms of distinguishing these products from the similar ones in terms of the quality that the characteristic features of the region bring to the product, making them stand out commercially, contributing to the rural development and preserving the cultural heritage. Dry beans cultivated by the farmers in the Gümüşhane province is newly recognized as a GI product that is unique in both taste and quality. This study is intended to identify the factors affecting the farmers’ decision to produce GI-labelled dry beans. The survey was conducted in January–March 2021. A sampling size of the participants consisted of 50 farmers who cultivated GI-labelled dry beans and 50 non-GI dry beans. A binary logistic regression analysis approach was employed to identify the factors affecting the likelihood of the farmers cultivating the GI dry beans. The results of the model indicate that the young farmers with the low educational level, the low property land size, the low yield per decare, and the large farmland, the high annual agricultural income and specializing in the dry beans production are more likely to engage in the production of GI dry beans. For the farms involving the GI product, agricultural associations can be advised with the farmers with the wider agricultural acreage and the high annual agricultural income, and that specialize in the production of such products. The participation of the farmers in the agriculture enterprises involving the GI dry beans will depend on them seeing positive widespread effects, which requires a long-term commitment.

Price Premiums for Single‐Name and Compound‐Name Geographical Indications in Swiss Cheese Trade

Geographical indications (GIs) have become increasingly important in agri‐food markets, especially in Europe. For Swiss cheese imports and exports, we analyze whether GIs are associated with higher trade prices. We find that price premiums can be obtained for both exports and imports. However, this is only the case for cheeses with single name GIs where the whole name is protected (e.g., Gruyère, Roquefort). There is no price premium for cheeses with compound names, consisting of a generic part and a geographical part (e.g., Gouda Holland, Raclette du Valais). As the generic part of the name (here Gouda, Raclette) can be used by competitors from other regions, such GI products may have difficulties in differentiating themselves. We conclude that higher prices in international cheese trade are not a matter of having a GI label or not. Rather, having a compound name seems to offset the benefit of the GI protection.

Geographical indications have been protected internationally since 1883 and have been protected by the European Community since the 1970s. Currently, there are about 3,500 names of agricultural products and foodstuffs in the EU register of geographical indications. The purpose of this article is to verify how selected aspects related to EU membership, i.e., EU policy on the quality of agricultural products and foodstuffs are perceived in terms of the functioning of entrepreneurship in the Carpathian countries: Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, and Ukraine. The results of focus group interviews conducted in 2021 as part of a study commissioned by the New Direction Foundation on Carpathian products, their producers and surrounding institutions were used to achieve this goal. The scale of use of EU solutions analyzed indicates that 20 years of experience is only the beginning of the road for Central European countries in terms of product protection. The lack of a GI protection system means the demise of local and regional producers.
