Abstract

Abstract Consumers are increasingly demanding information regarding the characteristics of products, their place of origin and methods of production. A Geographical Indication (GI) can be understood as a way to meet these demands, as it protects the origin of the product, as well as its characteristics. In addition to contributing to territorial development, GI signs have the potential to add value to products and help producers to become more competitive. However, some authors argue that there are barriers that can prevent the benefits of GI from reaching producers. Therefore, this article aims to identify the barriers and benefits of GI for producers. To reach this end, a Systematic Literature Review was carried out. As a result, it was observed that among the main benefits offered by the GI are higher prices, access to markets and preservation of cultural identity. Regarding the challenges, it was highlighted the existence of inefficient institutions, organizational problems, power asymmetry and appropriation of value by the most powerful agents of the supply chain. To conclude, this paper shows that the difficulties and benefits of GI to producers are not absolute and vary from region to region. In this sense, further research on the impact of GI, especially in developing countries, is necessary. The results here presented may be used as a base for future research that search to identify the importance of GI for producers and may also contribute to the development of actions or public policies related to GI.

地理标志对生产者的利益和障碍:综述

消费者对产品特性、产地和生产方法的要求越来越高。地理标志(GI)可以被理解为满足这些需求的一种方式，因为它保护了产品的原产地及其特征。除了促进地域发展外，地理标志还具有增加产品价值和帮助生产商提高竞争力的潜力。然而，一些作者认为，有一些障碍可以阻止生产者获得地理标志的好处。因此，本文旨在确定地理标志对生产者的障碍和利益。为了达到这个目的，我们进行了系统的文献综述。因此，有人指出，地理标志提供的主要好处包括较高的价格、进入市场和保存文化特性。关于挑战，它强调了低效制度的存在、组织问题、权力不对称以及供应链中最强大的代理人占有价值。综上所述，地理标志对生产者的好处和困难并不是绝对的，并且因地区而异。从这个意义上说，有必要进一步研究地理标志的影响，特别是在发展中国家。这里提出的结果可以作为未来研究的基础，以确定地理标志对生产者的重要性，也可能有助于制定与地理标志相关的行动或公共政策。

期刊介绍： Renewable Agriculture and Food Systems (formerly American Journal of Alternative Agriculture) is a multi-disciplinary journal which focuses on the science that underpins economically, environmentally, and socially sustainable approaches to agriculture and food production. The journal publishes original research and review articles on the economic, ecological, and environmental impacts of agriculture; the effective use of renewable resources and biodiversity in agro-ecosystems; and the technological and sociological implications of sustainable food systems. It also contains a discussion forum, which presents lively discussions on new and provocative topics.
