ABSTRACT

This study aims to analyze the current status, challenges, and strategies of geographical indication (GI) protection for agricultural products in China. Through literature review and theoretical analysis, this paper first outlines the theoretical foundations and practical cases of GI protection both domestically and internationally, with a focus on evaluating the implementation effectiveness of China's existing legal framework and policy support. The research results indicate that although China has made certain progress in legal systems and economic benefits regarding GI protection, it still faces issues such as inadequate law enforcement, ineffective market promotion, and weak brand development. Based on these findings, this paper proposes strategies including strengthening legal enforcement, promoting brand development, and enhancing public awareness, aiming to provide references for further improving China's GI protection system for agricultural products. Future research directions may further explore the quantitative impact of GIs on regional economies and internationalization pathways.
