地理标志,即产品上标明原产地的标志,有望获得更高的收入,并将农村人口留在不太有利或偏远的地区。在这项研究中,我们研究的影响,地理标志的维持农业使用的案例研究上沼水稻,与原产地的标签,只在新泻县的上沼区在日本生产。虽然上沼大米还不是正式的地理标志,但由于其长期以来的质量声誉和生产者组织对地理标志的保护,它原则上有资格进行地理标志注册。我们利用与上沼区相邻的一个区的市政合并作为一个自然的实验,在这个实验中,一个迄今为止同质的地区被分裂,一个部分成为上沼区的一部分。利用详细的社区层面面板数据,我们发现,有一个积极的影响,在农村社区的农户数量和经营的农田面积。此外,由于生产上沼大米,由于大米价格上涨,老年农民继续耕种。与此同时,我们没有发现任何证据表明采用上沼水稻对年轻农民的数量产生了积极影响。由于社区成员的老龄化,这可能使农村社区难以维持。
Geographical indications (GIs), or signs on products indicating a region of origin, are expected to secure higher incomes and retain the rural population in less favored or remote areas. In this study, we examine the effect of GIs on the maintenance of farming using a case study on Uonuma rice, with region-of-origin labeling, produced only in the Uonuma district of Niigata prefecture in Japan. Although Uonuma rice is not yet an official GI, it qualifies in principle for GI registration under its long-standing reputation for quality and GI-like protection by the producer’s organization. We exploit a municipal merger in a district adjacent to Uonuma district as a natural experiment, in which a hitherto homogeneous region was split and one section became part of Uonuma district. Using detailed community-level panel data, we find that there is a positive effect on the number of farm households and the area of operated farmland in a rural community. Also, producing Uonuma rice led to older farmers continuing to farm due to higher rice prices. Meanwhile, we found no evidence that the adoption of Uonuma rice had a positive effect on the number of young farmers. This may make it difficult to maintain the rural community due to the aging of community members.
