Obstacles and challenges for implementing a geographical indication: the case of rennet cheese from jaguaribe-CE

Summary/Abstract: The process of implementing a Geographical Indication is slow and complex and requires an institutional arrangement formed by several institutions, which is efficient in the articulation of all actors involved and the decentralization of information, reaching/covering more than the institutions and technicians who are effectively involved in creation process. The state of Ceará has great potential to implement the geographical Indication, as it presents differentiated products in some regions, such as rennet cheese, whose production chain is responsible for generating employment and income in the municipality of Jaguaribe. However, the GI recognition process for this product has not advanced, despite the efforts of the local agents involved.
