Chapter 9 in Geographical Indications and International Agricultural Trade, 2012, pp 181-203 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The official recognition of a Geographical Indication (GI) is not always the magic wand that guarantees market access. In many instances, GIs only provide local recognition and minor economic benefits. Yet examples in which the implementation of a GI has helped farmers to access national or international markets proliferate. In some cases, especially in the developing world, the implementation of GIs may signify not only increased market access, but, more importantly, a base for the creation of that market (see Chapter 4 of this volume).
