This organization is the key element for a geographical indication (GI) because it is the same as the referral process of the National Institute of Intellectual Property (INPI) and that of IG, without the purpose of meeting the needs of the honeydew honey production chain of the Santa Catarina Plateau. To the quality of the best the effect of the compliance of goon and regulated in the first list of the compliance of the product and public regulated the product. The justification is the request for the merits of the same, if the notification of product, the local of original, and the quality and unique binding bound to environment, already already valued not outside. Allied to this, increased competition and the need for consumers, the need to seek ways of insertion and stay in the market increasingly competitive. Thus, an association has been a viable alternative in the attempt to obtain a list of producers in search of product valorization. Among the challenges of a GI are benefits for producers, as well as apiculture associations and honey beekeepers, as well as honeydew honey. There is currently an area for obtaining multiple companies and for success. Thus, it is essential that the management of a GI is managed by an entity that has the representation of companies throughout the State.  aapiculture  aassociation  aGI1 aVIEIRA, E.1 aBLAINSKI, ??.1 aTRABAQUINI, K.1 aVIEIRA, V.
