Conteúdo:

Honey of bracatinga honeydew (Mimosa scabrella Bentham) is obtained from mealybugs (Tachardiella sp) that feed on the sap of the plant
and excrete the excess of honeydew droplets that are collected by the bees. This honey has specific characteristics that differentiate it from
the others, due to the strong characteristic flavor and odor, darker color when compared to floral honeys, higher electrical conductivity,
lower monosaccharide content (glucose and fructose), a possible reason why it usually does not crystallize. Considering the specific
characteristics of the honeydew honey produced in South of Brazil, along with tradition, culture and economic importance, the proposal of
producers with the support of Epagri and Sebrae for the implementation of a geographical indication (GI) is presented, which is one of the
valorization tools of products with territorial specificity and that can also contribute to the development of the affected territories, mainly in
the social, cultural and environmental dimensions. The implementation of the GI would signal to the consumer that it is a genuine product,
whose specificity is due to its origin, conferring a market differential. This is a necessity, since with globalization, consumers around the
world are increasingly interested in foods with guaranteed local and regional identities, and these certifications are appropriate to ensure
higher quality, safety and to address specific market niches. In this sense, the addition of the differentiation and specific market, the
aggregation of value to the product, incorporating to the same, the history of the region, the culture, the know-how and the local identity
is obtained through the GI, offering to the consumer a sign of its typicality and quality.
