“…First is brand premium effect (Bellassen et al, 2022). The AGIs protection system endows AGIs with profound economic connotations, such as trustable products, monopolized products, differentiated products, club products and price control (Josling, 2006;Thiedig and Sylvander, 2000).…”

PurposeIntellectual property right constitutes play a forceful role to promote economic growth and create a fortune. However, it is not yet clear to what extent the agricultural intellectual property rights represented by geographical indications of agricultural products (AGIs) can affect the development of regional economy. The purpose of this paper is to analyze this impact and its mechanism as well as to draw policy implications from this empirical analysis.Design/methodology/approachUsing county-level panel data from 2006 to 2020, this paper employed the difference-in-differences (DID) model.FindingsThe authors find that AGIs can significantly improve economic development at the county level. The AGIs can stimulate the flow of commercial and industrial capital to the countryside, thus fueling county-level economic development. Unlike AGIs for cereals and cash crops, AGIs for aquatic products and animal products cannot influence or have a negative impact on county-level economic. Compared with Eastern regions, the acquisition of AGIs in Western regions can more significantly boost county-level economic development. Therefore, AGIs can pronouncedly narrow down the gap of cross-county economic growth.Originality/valueConclusions of this paper can provide references for building the county-level countryside into a main ground of agricultural economic development and brand construction, continuously promoting the agricultural supply-front structural reform and boosting realization of all-around rural revitalization.

“…The hypothesis that GIs generate PGs was tested as part of the Horizon2020 ‘Strength2food’ project (http://www.strength2food.eu). This project analysed the sustainability of GI value chains and areas of production (Bellassen et al, 2022) and investigated the relationship between PGs and the CoS. Rules defined in the CoS which support PGs production are proven good practices that can cross‐fertilise other GI production systems and foster the management and valorisation of PGs over time. In the ‘Strength2food’ project, 19 GI chains in 14 countries were selected (Table 1) to have the best territorial coverage among the project partner countries and the highest number of product categories represented.…”

Geographical Indications and Public Good Relationships: Evidence and Policy Implications

SummaryIn the European context, geographical indications (GIs) are tools that contribute to the achievement of rural development policy objectives. In this article, we propose that GI value chains produce positive environmental, social and economic benefits, defined as Public Goods (PGs), resulting from the rules defined in the Code of Specifications (CoS). This article reports the main results of the Strength2food H2020 project, designed to assessing the impact of GIs (through their CoSs) on agri‐food system sustainability. Specifically, this report highlights that GI CoSs may generate PGs through the rules codified in CoSs presented as good practices in the production of PGs for other GI systems. Some final recommendations are proposed from the analysis of those good practices which contribute to the generation of PGs and, consequently, to the improvement of a sustainable rural development process. Case studies analysed show that generation of PGs requires both an internal and external intervention. The former intervention implies governance strategies for GI territorial systems and value chains that can improve the production of PGs. The latter intervention entails consumers and other stakeholder communication strategies to raise awareness regarding PG generation. These interventions will ultimately increase the social value of GIs.

“…The motivation behind GIs and PDOs is to provide a communication signal for consumers and to generate a positive return for farmers (Bellassen et al, 2022). Thus, even though the direct connotation of GIs and PDOs is the origin of the product (e.g.…”

Farmer-owned brand purchases: The importance of label comprehension and price fairness perception

The farmer-owned label is a relatively recent addition to the crowded landscape of information on food and drink product packages. Due to its novelty, research on the farmer-owned label is still scarce. Using 451 responses from random food consumers in the United States, we attempt to explain variability in the purchase of farmer-owned brands in ten different food and drink product categories in terms of label comprehension and price fairness perception. Our structural equation model results are contrary to expectations: we find a negative relationship of label comprehension to the farmer-owned brand share, which implies food consumers do not support the various implications of farmer ownership of food brands. In addition, respondents who perceive more distributive price fairness and procedural price fairness purchase a higher proportion of farmer-owned brands. Implications for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers are discussed.
