The main objective of this paper was to determine whether producers of traditional agri -food products in Croatia are familiar with geographical indications and to examine their expectations about the impact of geographical indications on the competitiveness of their products. A telephone survey was conducted with 120 producers of four traditional agri -food product (Pag Cheese, meat of Zagorje Turkey, Slavonian kulen sausage and Virovitica Pepper). At the time of the research from April to June 2008 all four products were in the PDO/PGO registration procedure. Data collected by the survey were analyzed by use of the SPSS v.17.0 software. The results show that only a small numbers of respondents are fully familiar with geographical indications and their benefits. Majority of respondents have positive expectations about geographical indications; most of them expected that protection will increase consumer confidence in safety of their product, will increase familiarity with the protected product and reduce abuse of the product. Most positive expectations have been noted by highly educated producers as well as the younger ones. The results of this study show/indicate there is a need to better inform and educate producers about the benefits and advantages of protecting geographical indications. This protection schemes could improve market and tourist offer and hence income of farmers -producers of protected products, all of which contribute to the economic development of Croatian rural areas. SažetakCilj ovog rada je bio utvrditi koliko su proizvođači tradicijskih poljoprivrednoprehrambenih proizvoda u Hrvatskoj upoznati sa zemljopisnim oznakama, te utvrditi njihova očekivanja o utjecaju zemljopisnih oznaka na povećanje konkurentnosti njihovih proizvoda. Telefonsko anketno ispitivanje je provedeno s 120 proizvođača četiri tradicijsko poljoprivredno -prehrambena proizvoda (paški sir, zagorski puran, slavonski kulen ili kulin i virovitička paprika). U vrijeme provedbe istraživanja od travnja do lipnja 2008. godine sva četiri proizvoda su bila u postupku registracije zemljopisnim oznakama (PDO/PGI). Prikupljeni podaci su unijeti i obrađeni u statističkom programskom paketu SPSS17. Rezultati istraživanja su pokazali da je samo manji udio proizvođača u potpunosti upoznat sa pojmom zemljopisnih oznaka i koristima koje bi imali od zaštite zemljopisnim oznakama. Najviše proizvođača očekuje da će zaštita povećati povjerenje potrošača u zdravstvenu sigurnost njihovog proizvoda, povećati poznatost na tržištu te spriječiti zlouporabu imena proizvoda. Pozitivnija očekivanja glede utjecaja zemljopisnih oznaka na povećanje konkurentnosti tradicijskih proizvoda imaju obrazovaniji i mlađi proizvođači s višim znanjem o zemljopisnim oznakama. Rezultati istraživanja ukazuju na potrebu boljeg informiranja i educiranja proizvođača o koristima i prednostima zaštite zemljopisnim oznakama. Kroz spomenute sustave zaštite poboljšala bi se tržišna i turistička ponuda, a time i prihodi poljoprivrednika -proizvođača zaštićenih proizvod...

“…On the other hand, studies on GIs were performed in various perspectives internationally, of which product qualification was considered a method to form connections between producers and purchasers (Tregear et al 2007). In a study on the GI for the Hessian apple wine, Teuber (2011) reported that purchasers had limited awareness and knowledge about GIs; intentions on purchasing GI products were led by awareness and expectations of purchasers through positive effects on the local economy, and producers registered products for GI to maintain existing reputations.…”

As a result of the 1994 "WTO/TRIPs Agreement", and based on adherence to the 1999 Agricultural and Fishery Products Quality Control Act, geographical indication (GI) has been implemented in South Korea since 2000. As of the end of 2014 there were a total of 95 products registered for GI, including 32 forestry products, 53 agricultural products, and 11 fishery products. There are four registered regions for dried persimmons in a single product, which is the most of any of the 51 regions (32 forestry products) registered for GI. Accordingly, this study investigates the opinions of dried persimmon-producing farmers and purchasers to increase profits for farmers and to suggest plans for the advancement of the GI system (GIs). However, a large number of dried persimmon farmers and purchasers are not familiar with GIs. Consequently, we were able to conclude that there is a need to continually publicize the importance and aims of introducing GI, perhaps by opening a website or developing a smartphone application. Furthermore, producers must improve the product quality and the government requirements to implement quality control strategies for GI-registered dried persimmons, and to conduct thorough management and supervision of the illegal distribution of dried persimmons that misappropriates GI.

“…Ainsi, les effets de la protection des IG pour les petits producteurs sont souvent moindres qu'espéré. Plusieurs problèmes sont signalés dans la littérature, qui dépendent en bonne partie du contenu du cahier des charges et du processus suivi pour le rédiger (Tregear et al, 2007 ;Bowen et Zapata, 2008 ;Galtier et al, 2013 Nous présentons dans la section suivante le cadre d'analyse. Nous examinons ensuite la filière du poivre de Penja, ses principaux problèmes et le processus de son enregistrement comme IG.…”

Échapper au piège « qualité–exclusion » dans les indications géographiques : réflexions sur le cas du poivre de Penja

Résumé -La protection des indications géographiques (IG) est considérée dans les pays en développement comme une façon de valoriser les produits d'origine et de renforcer les systèmes agroalimentaires localisés en améliorant l'accès au marché des petits producteurs. La démarche d'enregistrement des IG va au-delà de la lutte contre les usurpations des noms géographiques et peut contribuer à modifier le fonctionnement de la filière. En effet, l'enregistrement suppose l'accord des producteurs sur un cahier des charges qui définit les caractéristiques-clés du produit et du processus de production et délimite la zone de production. Cependant, les effets positifs de la protection sont souvent menacés, en particulier dans les pays du Sud, par ce que nous appelons le « piège qualité-exclusion » : la recherche d'une meilleure qualité du produit peut provoquer l'exclusion des producteurs les plus faibles ; à l'inverse, éviter toute exclusion peut conduire à un cahier des charges trop vague ou un système de contrôle trop laxiste, ce qui rendra l'IG inefficace. Nous analysons comment ce dilemme peut être géré pour améliorer l'accès des petits producteurs au marché en examinant le cas du poivre de Penja (Cameroun), enregistré en 2013 et devenu la première IG protégée dans la zone de l'Organisation africaine de la propriété intellectuelle (OAPI). Nos résultats montrent que pour garder tant l'équité que l'efficacité de la protection des IG, il est nécessaire d'accompagner la protection juridique par des actions et des politiques appropriées. Les aspects critiques sont l'élaboration d'un cahier des charges et d'un système de contrôle rigoureux, mais aussi capables de minimiser les règles difficiles à atteindre, et la fourniture de services capables de favoriser l'accès aux IG des producteurs les plus faibles.Mots clés : produits d'origine / accès au marché / petits agriculteurs / action collective / Cameroun Abstract -Escaping the "quality-exclusion" trap in building geographical indications: some reflexions from the Penja pepper case. The protection of geographical indications (GI) is considered in developing countries as a powerful tool for supporting origin products and for strengthening local agrifood production systems by improving farmers' market access. GI protection may have several effects that go far beyond the fight against misuses of the geographical name and can stimulate a new organisation and functioning of the supply chain. Indeed, the GI protection requires an agreement of producers on a Code of practices that specifies the production area, the process and product characteristics, and on an appropriate control system. However, GI protection positive effects are often threatened, especially in the context of Southern countries, by what we call "quality-exclusion trap". In fact, searching for a better product qualification can cause the exclusion of less empowered producers. On the contrary, when the Code of practices and the control systems are too flexible, the GI scheme may be inefficient. The paper aims to an...
