Abstract: Geographical Indications certify the link between quality of some agro-food productions and their territory. For these products the premium price is derived from both certification and reputational effect of the territory, since there are products without Geographical Indication that have a rent associated with the area of production. With the case study proposed in this paper the separate effect of these two factors is measured. The analysis is focused on "tomato from Pachino" with brand of protected geographical indication (PGI). The survey is conducted over a random sample of 700 consumers living in Italy. Results shows that consumers pay a higher price for "tomato from Pachino PGI" than price paid for product with only indication of area of production. Neverthelerss, a lack of knowledge about the meaning of PGI brand is observed. The analysis is completed by segmenting the market, allowing the identification of consumers more likely to buy certified product.
