Abstract

[fre] La politique de la qualité mise en place en France, et plus récemment par l'Union Européenne, offre aux acteurs du secteur agro-alimentaire des dispositifs juridiques et institutionnels leur permettant de valoriser une réputation collective et de «vendre du territoire» par la différenciation de leurs produits. La principale innovation de ce système est de codifier les dénominations d'origine pour en faire des signaux de qualité crédibles. L'article analyse d'abord les facteurs de succès de cette politique. Ensuite, il met en évidence les perspectives de cette politique dans le contexte international, en soulignant les obstacles que va devoir affronter la réglementation européenne et les concurrences nouvelles que vont subir les dénominations d'origine. [eng] Quality policy in the agro-food sector in global economy - Quality policy becomes a central issue for agro-food sector. Distinctive regulatory strategies have been followed in France, and more recently in the European Union, in order to promote quality differentiation and consumer information about food products. We show that these strategies are all based on the two following rules, i. e the promotion of producer's collective reputation and the certification of «localized production systems». The main innovation introduced by these institutional arrangements is then to define the origin of products as a credible quality signal. The aim of this article is, first to characterize the main institutional factors that may explain the economic success met by this policy. Second, futures opportunities for their extension at the international level are emphasised, focusing more precisely on the possible hurdles they will have to overcome.
