Italian Products in Thailand DOP&IGP Database
Ital ian Products in Thailand DOP&IGP Database
To: Food and Beverage Operators in Thailand,
This is to inform you of a new initiative of the Thai – Italian Chamber of Commerce (TICC) in the Food and Beverage area and to
request the help we need from you to make it a success. The TICC has created a database for genuine Italian food products that
have been certified with the DOP or IGP marks by the European Union and are available in Thailand. In addition to the product
name, the database indicates the brand name and the local distributor that can be contacted to purchase it. For reference,
brief descriptions of the DOP and IGP marks are given in Attachment 1.
The initial database content is provided in Attachment 2. It should be noted that this content is far from being a complete
indication of all DOP and IGP certified products available in Thailand. It has to be expanded by adding the many other certified
products that you, as Food and Beverage operators, have available for sale or know to be available from other local sources.
The database will then be kept up to date by TICC as more certified products become available.
We believe this initiative will be very helpful to Food and Beverage operators, both on the supplier side and the consumer side.
The initiative has been initiated by the TICC Food and Beverage Committee within the framework of the Ospitalità Italiana
program. It reflects the suggestions and needs of TICC member companies involved in Ospitalità Italiana. Specifically, it
addresses the need for an easy-to-use tool to put in touch genuine Italian food product buyers, such as restaurants, with local
distributors that offer certified genuine products.
The number of Italian restaurants in Thailand has been growing very rapidly, particularly in Bangkok, where they number over
350. The need to differentiate between genuine Italian restaurants and “just-Italian-inspired” restaurants has grown
accordingly. This has already been addressed by the TICC with the Ospitalità Italiana project that recognizes the Italian
restaurants that use real Italian recipes, cooking methods and ingredients.
In addition, interest in genuine Italian food ingredients for home cooking --previously limited to some expatriates and a few
upper-class Thais-- has grown so much that “Italian” food ingredients can be found in most supermarkets and some
convenience stores. Some of these “Italian” products have dubious origin and poor quality. That is why it is important to
protect genuine Italian food ingredients with a certification system, i.e., the DOP and IGP system, and a related database that
will be easy to understand and use for food industry professionals and home cooking enthusiasts alike.
We would appreciate your indicating to us which additional certified food product are available in Thailand through your
organization or other distribution channels, so that we may fill out our database. Any additional suggestion or comment will be
welcome.
Sincerely,
Giovanni Quaratesi
Secretary General, Thai Italian Chamber of Commerce

DOP & IGP
In order to protect the typicality of some food products, the European Union has launched a specific legislation,
establishing two levels of accreditation: DOP and IGP.
The acronym DOP (in English PDO, Protected Designation of
Origin)extends the protection of the national mark DOC(Denomination
of Controlled Origin) in the whole of Europe and, with international
agreements GATT, although the rest of the world. The brand
designates a product originating in a region and a country where the
quality and characteristics are essentially or exclusively due to the geographical environment (including natural
and human factors). The entire production, processing and preparation of the product must take place in the
defined area.
The acronym IGP (in English PGI, Protected Geographical Indication)
introduces a new qualitative level of protection taking in consideration
the development of the industrial sector, giving more weight to the
techniques of production with respect to territorial restrictions. So the
code identifies a product originates in a region and a country whose
the quality, reputation and characteristics can be attributed to the geographical origin, and at least one stage of
production, processing and preparation take place in the defined area.
Both of these quality certifications are a valid guarantee for the consumers that want to buy quality food, which
must meet certain requirements and are manufactured respecting precise specifications. These certifications
are useful also in order to provide protection for the producers against any imitation sand unfair competition.
The DOP and IGP products must bear the label and the words "Guaranteed by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food
and Forestry pursuant to art. 10 of the EU regulation. n. 510/2006".
These guidelines are the guarantee of authenticity and quality of product.
DOP and IGP certifications are issued after a rigorous investigation the characteristics of the product and of the
production method. This assessment involves, at the national level, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and
Forestry and at Community level, the Agriculture Committee. The certificated products are recorded in a
register managed by the Commission and made public through the official site.
Italy stands out for a rich agricultural unique in terms of the richness, variety and value: more than 200 Italian
products have gotten these quality certification. Italian DOP and IGP foodstuffs have led Italy to hold a
Ital ian Products in Thailand DOP&IGP Database
leadership position in the European Community area. The presence of a so extensive local products is linked to
the peculiarities of the Italian history and territory, which allowed the creation and maintenance over time of
production, gastronomic and cultural traditions very different from each other. This agri-food heritage create
value from the cultural, social and economic point of view: the food, in fact, in recent years has established as
the second economic sector after the manufacturing one. To this it should be add to the effect generated by
the inseparable union of Tourism - Food and wine, which helps to enhance the knowledge and favor of Italian
products abroad.
