Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the potential of the Tangerine of Patate (Citrus x clementina) to obtain a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO). The study emphasizes the crucial role of local climatic conditions, unique soil characteristics, and traditional cultivation techniques in determining the fruit's organoleptic properties. The methodology consists of applying two stages of the virtuous circle proposed by Vandecandelaere: (1) Identification and (2) Proposal of Qualification. Information on cultural practices and post-harvest techniques was gathered through surveys. Qualitative data from surveys were processed using the MAXQDA software. Tangerine and other samples were analyzed with normalized physicochemical analyses in the lab. The first data were compared with samples from two different cantons to validate the intrinsic value of Patate's tangerine. Results demonstrate that the tangerine exhibits differentiated characteristics in terms of aroma, color, and flavor, as well as a traditional inherited practice that is part of the attributes supporting its potential DO status. It is concluded that the mandarin meets the requirements to obtain a Protected Designation of Origin based on specific conditions of production and harvest, as well as is a potential economic aspect to consider increasing farmers' incomes.

发掘独特价值：探索原产地名称保护对通古拉瓦省 Patate 橘产业的潜力

本研究旨在分析帕塔特柑橘（Citrus x clementina）获得原产地名称保护（PDO）的潜力。研究强调了当地气候条件、独特的土壤特性和传统栽培技术在决定水果感官特性方面的关键作用。研究方法包括应用 Vandecandelaere 提出的良性循环的两个阶段：(1) 识别和 (2) 鉴定建议。通过调查收集有关文化习俗和采后技术的信息。调查所得的定性数据使用 MAXQDA 软件进行处理。橘子和其他样品在实验室进行了归一化理化分析。第一批数据与来自两个不同州的样本进行了比较，以验证帕塔特桔子的内在价值。结果表明，桔子在香气、颜色和风味方面表现出与众不同的特点，而且传统的传承做法也是支持其潜在 DO 地位的属性之一。结论是，根据特定的生产和收获条件，柑橘符合获得原产地名称保护的要求，同时也是增加农民收入的潜在经济因素。

期刊介绍： Economia agro-alimentare/Food Economy is a triannual peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Franco Angeli Edizioni on behalf of the Italian Society of Agri-food Economics (SIEA), founded in 1996 by the then President of SIEA Fausto Cantarelli. It offers an international forum for the discussion and analysis of mono and interdisciplinary socio-economic, political, legal and technical issues, related to agricultural and food systems. It welcomes submissions of original papers focusing on agriculture, food, natural resources, safety, nutrition and health, including all processes and infrastructure involved in providing food to populations; as well as the processes, inputs and outputs involved in consumption and disposal of food and food-related items. Analyses also include social, political, economic and environmental contexts and human resource challenges. Submissions should be addressed to an international audience of researchers, practitioners, and policy makers, and they may consider local, national, or global scales.
