Abstract:
This bulletin reviews the history of origin-based products and identifies critical issues in improving their recognition. Case studies from Benin, Peru, South Africa, Costa Rica, and France provide insights into the opportunities and pitfalls of this type of marketing. They explore whether origin-based labelling can enable smallholder producers to develop new markets, increase their competitiveness and raise their income. This book is intended for policy makers and practitioners involved in various aspects of pro-poor market development, including those interested in developing businesses and markets for smallholders, promoting pro-poor entrepreneurship, and including smallholders in globalizing food systems.
