ProjectEstablishing a Geographical Indication System in Lao People’s Democratic Republic - UTF/LAO/026/LAO 2021
Also available in:
No results found.In recent years, the member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) have developed Geographical Indication (GI) schemes. GIs are intellectual property (IP) rights that indicate food products or handicrafts as originating in a territory where a given quality and reputation or other unique characteristic of the goods, including raw materials or the methods of production used, is linked to provenance. Products that are GI certified can increase commercialization and promote trade at the international level. They can also have a significant impact at local level by enhancing rural livelihoods through income generation, investment promotion, the creation of local employment opportunities in the food, agriculture, and tourism sectors, and the prevention of rural exodus. This project was formulated to bring about these benefits for the small scale farmers and small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) that make up the majority of the food and agriculture sector in Lao People’s Democratic Republic. By focusing on the establishment of an internationally compliant GI system in the country and developing four GI pilot value chains in the agriculture sector, the project was designed to increase the competitiveness of the country at local and global level.
