Abstract

Geographical indications are instruments that enhance the value of traditional products associated with a territory, ensuring their protection and recognition in the markets. However, not all countries promote their products and heritages in the same way. In this context, the objective of this research is to evaluate the scientific production of Geographical indications in Latin American Latin American countries through a bibliometric analysis of publications indexed in Scopus. The results indicate that the Latin American countries leading the production are Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, and Colombia, which together with seven others produce 11.3% of the world's research in this field. There is evidence of low scientific collaboration between authors, organizations and Latin American countries. It is concluded that it is necessary to strengthen scientific collaboration and the involvement of Latin American governments to promote regional instruments for the recognition and protection of products from territories with special conditions in Latin American.
