“…For example, by analyzing the panel data of the wholesale prices of "Navarre Beef" in northern Spain, Iraizoz et al found that beef certified with geographical indications has a higher price as the official certification of the quality of the beef given by the geographical indication is more conducive to consumer trust and choice, thus verifying the important roles of geographical indication products in the development of the agricultural economy with the support of the "brand spillover effect" [7]. Similarly, Lawal-Arowolo, A. analyzed the indigenous artworks of culture in Nigeria and found that geographical indications not only protect the product itself but also the technology and knowledge behind the product, and they found that such protection increases the commercial value of Nigerian indigenous cultural artifacts and makes a significant contribution to increasing the income of the local people, which reaffirms that geographical indication products can promote the growth of the economy [8]. After analyzing the survey data of geographical indication products in Bangkok, Lee and J.Y.…”

Do geographical indication products help facilitate the development of the agricultural economy? This problem is a point of controversy in the field of global agricultural intellectual property. For a long time, there have been different viewpoints on this problem; that is, there is a positive correlation, negative correlation, U-shape correlation, or no correlation between the geographical indication products and the development of the agricultural economy in the context of different studies. To clarify the influence mechanism between the two and explain why there are these disputes, this study used the meta-analysis method to statistically reanalyze 405 observation values provided in 64 independent research samples from the context of different regions around the world. The study results show that geographical indications not only generate more economic benefits than ordinary products but also contribute to the growth of the agricultural economy by effectively promoting the development of agricultural product trade and the enhancement of agricultural product price. There exists a low positive correlation between the geographical indication products and the agricultural economy (r = 0.176, 95% CI = [0.126, 0.225]). In addition, the promotion effect of geographical indication products on the agricultural economy is regulated by the country of origin of the samples, sample level, publication journal, data type, data acquisition approach, and research method. Our research findings further revealed the internal relationship mechanism between the geographical indication products and the agricultural economy and lay a foundation for better protecting and developing geographical indication products.

“…As a new trend to enhance agricultural competitiveness, GI products are deemed an innovative and effective means to boost farmers' income. However, whether the development of GI products has increased farmers' income remains a critical question due to its significant theoretical and practical implications for promoting farmer income growth and enhancing the market competitiveness of regional products [4]. Although the European Commission resolution No.…”

Geographical indication (GI) products serve as one of the significant instruments for increasing farmers’ income. While most studies affirmatively indicate that GI products contribute to boosting farmers’ income growth, it is noteworthy that their relationship does not consistently demonstrate a positive correlation. The academic discourse on this issue remains inconclusive. This study employs a meta-analysis method to reanalyze 140 effect sizes from 32 independent research samples across diverse global contexts. The findings reveal that the development of GI products significantly promotes farmer income growth, showing a high positive correlation (r = 0.348, CI = [0.104, 0.540]). Specifically, there exists a high positive correlation between GI products and per capita disposable income (r = 0.389) and a moderate positive correlation between GI products and agricultural product prices (r = 0.255). Further analysis indicates that factors at the sample level, literature level, and methodological level all exert moderating effects on the relationship between GI products and farmers’ income. This study not only provides a scientific response to the debate surrounding the relationship between GI products and farmers’ income but also delves into the underlying mechanisms. It holds significant importance for advancing the rational optimization of agricultural resources and enhancing agricultural competitiveness.

“…In relation to the protection of the GI, this can now be harnessed by member states through a sui generis system or by using collective marks and certification marks. Effective protection and implementation of the GI tools thus, comprises adherence to the quality standards by producers, branding, promoting and watchful market patrol for any violation of the registered GI goods (Lawal-Arowolo, 2019).…”

In the domain ofintellectual property (IP), the Geographical Indication (GI) is deemed to be a sleeping beauty due to its imperial reverberation in consolidating cultural and economic values, particularly in the developing and least developed countries. Bangladesh, being rich in cultural diversities and traditions, has a number of world famous foodstuffs, handicrafts, agricultural products and cultural heritage that could qualify as geographical indications. In this context, the country introduced a sui generis method of GI protection with the promulgation of the Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act, 2013, which was also monumental in discharging Bangladesh's obligation under the WTO Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS). The present paper has :firstly chosen to examine the concept of the GI and its legal framework from the IP perspective in order to safeguard both the cultural legacy and genuine producers of geographically exhibiting products of Bangladesh. The key focus of this paper is, however, on the compatibility of TRIPS to Bangladeshi law, particularly inrelation to the aspects of protection and registration of Gls, and to identify the unexplored challenges that the country is supposed to confront as a developing nation. Finally, this article portrays some way-outs to combat potential challenges and help ensure the prospects of Bangladesh in an ever expanding local and global market of GI goods.
