Sažetak
Food markets are saturated with highly competitive products that often do not posses the adequate quality. For this reason, consumers are uncertain about the quality and origin of the food products that they intend to buy. European Commission (EC) recognize this problem and in 1992 created labels for protection of agricultural food products, known as “Protected Designation of Origin” (PDO), “Protected Geographical Indications” (PGI) and “Traditional Specialty Guarantee” (TSG). Croatia adopted these labels in 1995, since then, 4 products are registered with PDO label, 8 products with PGI label and one product is under the process of getting PDO label. At the beginning of 2012 the project aimed to protect the geographical origin of “Vrgorac strawberries” was initiative by strawberry producers’ association. The aim of project is to enhance production, increase competitiveness and quality of strawberries form area of Vrgorac. In the survey entire producing area of “Vrgorac strawberry” was involved, including the fields Rastok, Kotezi, Kokorici, Prapatnica, Jezero and Pojezerje. Furthermore, in this project, supported by the Ministry of Agriculture of Croatia, the production processes and the production range were standardized, and the most important chemical, morphological and organoleptic characteristics of the strawberries from that area were described. Based on the obtained results, a specification of “Vrgorac strawberry” will be drafted and submitted to the procedure for getting the protection of geographical indications label.
