Resumen
Descripción
More than 80 percent of the population of both Cambodia and Lao People’s Democratic Republic live on subsistence agriculture. In Thailand and Viet Nam, subsistence agriculture remains considerable (60 percent of the population), although commercial agriculture and the food processing sector are developing fast. Despite their different economic situations, the four countries have developed the registration of geographical indication, a common tool to extend their national presence on the international market.
The absence of a critical mass of people with experience in geographical indication systems in the target countries has slowed the development of the tool. Given the improbability of reaching such a critical mass at national level over a short period of time, there was a need to use the regional level to help the emergence of all the actors involved in the development, control, promotion and marketing of geographical indication.
