In an analogical way products are link to their origin, depends on the same time on the climatic conditions of production and on feeling and cultural links of the consumers with the origin production place. Consequently, it is concluded that the methods to establish origin labels cannot be copied, each product, each situation, demands a specific analysis. The types of market, the institutions, knowledge and resources, the norms and rules concerning products and natural resources, will modify the products' qualification process.
