Avaliação da sustentabilidade da indicação de procedência da cachaça de Abaíra/BA sob a égide dos objetivos do desenvolvimento sustentável(ODS)

Abstract

The Geographical Indication (GI) is an industrial property asset that is regulated by Law no 9.279/96, through its articles 176 to 182, identifying and linking the products or services according to their geographic origin. The aim of the study was to evaluate the indicators regarding the economic, social, environmental and institutional impacts and their convergence with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the context of the GI type Indication of Origin (IP) of the Microregion of Abaíra/BA. Due to adherence to the Geographical Indications theme, attention is focused mainly on SDGs 2, 4, 8, 10, 12 and 16. An analysis was conducted of regulatory, public policy, economic, agronomic, infrastructure, and technological barriers that affect the production chain. In general, the study adopted an exploratory method, with a predominantly qualitative approach. The methodology was the Economic, Social and Environmental Impact Assessment for Geographical Indications of Embrapa Grape and Wine, using the case study as an investigation technique. The results indicate that even before the recognition of the GI, the economic dynamics of the region had already intensified; however, in the last eight years, there has been increased visibility and commercialization of the product at higher prices than before. In the social dimension, tradition, prestige, and the reputation of cachaça are elements that enhance the activity, but the properties also face the phenomenon of rural exodus. The cooperative plays a fundamental role in the environmental dimension by promoting sustainable practices and technical guidance. On the institutional side, SEBRAE and educational and research institutions provide technical support, training, and promotion, encouraging and valuing local traditions.
