The official recognition of a Geographical Indication (GI) is not always the magic wand that guarantees market access. In many instances, GIs only provide local recognition and minor economic benefits. Yet examples in which the implementation of a GI has helped farmers to access national or international markets proliferate. In some cases, especially in the developing world, the implementation of GIs may signify not only increased market access, but, more importantly, a base for the creation of that market (see Chapter 4 of this volume). This chapter describes the way in which Tinawon rice, a speciality rice from Ifugao province, found its way into international markets, while a few years ago it was only cultivated for local consumption. In order to analyse this process, the authors scrutinized social changes (in the form of the new consciousness of farmers in the economic, cultural, and social values of their product), as well as the links of the territory and its main actors with the overseas world. More precisely, this ‘glocalization’has integrated rural places into the world economy and has huge implications for local populations by effecting changes in traditional power relationships (Augustin-Jean, 2010; Fligstein, 2001). In other words, while Tinawon rice is still not a legal GI, the chapter shows the process by which some of its characteristics (not only its material attributes, but also its history and culture, along with the know-how of its people–the major components of a GI), acquire market values and are at the basis of the creation of the market. Consequently, the study of Tinawon rice provides a good opportunity to analyse two related factors:(1) the historical experience of the implementation of the market (Polanyi, 1944); and (2) the commodification process of an agricultural product, which permitted the creation of a market for it (Appadurai, 1988).
