Protected Geographical Status
I love what you just posted to Protected Geographical Status. One other thing you might consider making more explicit is PGI/PDO/TSG as a vehicle for raising prices - as evidenced by this article which quotes one supplier (of Traditional Grimsby smoked fish) saying "The success we have had is counterbalanced by the fact landings are down and fish prices are up – it is back to square one. However, with our smoked fish now being recognised as a premium product, it does help keep the margins up" - in other words drawing a direct link between the award of PGI status and the increase in prices and profits during the year following award. Perhaps you could work something into the article? --Simple Boba.k.a. The Spaminator (Talk) 15:08, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! I'll try add in a few bits about higher prices. Probably work best in the 'creating markets where none previously existed' section. I need to keep the section focused around the neoliberalization of agro-food industry, I think that's where most criticisms arise from tbh. Although any thoughts you have are welcome...!
