Abstract

ABSTRACT: Geographical indications (GIs) play an important part in the agriculture sector in Vietnam. However, the government's role in promoting GIs to improve agricultural product quality has not been adequately analysed. This article investigates the influence of public policy on GIs and quality promotion of agricultural products in Vietnam, and analyses three case studies – Phu Quoc fish sauce, Luc Ngan lychee and Moc Chau Shan Tuyet tea –to examine the institutional influence of GIs on the quality development of local products. The article provides recommendations on how to promote GI implementation to enhance agricultural product quality in Vietnam.
