Sustainable GI extends origin-linked quality into measurable environmental, social and economic progress that global buyers can understand and use.
FROM HERITAGE TO RESILIENCE
The programme starts with GI integrity, then agrees priorities and evidence with producer groups, operators and buyers according to the product, place, destination market and procurement policy.
CSCAP 2026 · POLICY DISCUSSION
Connect local knowledge and geographical indications with producer readiness, buyer demand and lasting livelihoods. Success means value returning to the communities that create it.
EXPLORE · CREATE · LAUNCH · CONNECT · GROW
Explore community assets and market demand
Develop people, products and quality evidence
Prepare and present products to suitable buyers
Connect buyers and trade-support partners
Use delivery and repeat-order feedback to improve
Building on slides 10–17 and 19: start with a ready pilot community, agree a baseline, assign responsibilities and review results before expanding.
| Action | Suggested participants | Evidence to monitor |
|---|---|---|
| Connect producer and product information | Producer groups, data stewards, public and research bodies | Origin, quality, lot and delivery records; clear data ownership and access |
| Develop market coordinators and procurement | Communities, coordinators, buyers and businesses | Translate buyer briefs into workable specifications; track agreed delivery and repeat orders |
| Match finance to production cycles | Producers, buyers, financial institutions and development funders | Separate readiness funding from working capital; assess costs, capacity and demand |
| Share value and learning | Communities, businesses, public bodies and regional networks | Producer net income, value distribution, product loss and participation |
Slide 18 links the model to the SDGs. The following are proposed project measures; agree baselines and targets before claiming results.
Grassroots livelihoods, trust and regional cooperation, following the CSCAP 2026 presentation dated 24 September 2026.
Agricultural and food marketing connects producer readiness, buyer requirements and trade-support networks.
SDGs 8, 12 and 17 frame the main outcomes. The presentation also refers to SDGs 1, 2, 9 and 10.
Adapted from the supplied 20-slide CSCAP 2026 presentation on sustainable grassroots economies and Thailand’s regional role: 4S–4I (6), five stages (11), platforms (15), outcomes and regional cooperation (16–19).
Proposals for discussion, not an adopted policy, endorsement or formal partnership with CSCAP, AFMA or the UN. A product information register is separate from legal GI registration. Illustrations do not establish GI status.
FRESH FROM THAI / TRUSTED SUPPLY CHAIN
Asia-Pacific is becoming one of the world’s most important production bases. Investors, buyers and capital markets are no longer looking only for products—they are looking for supply chains that are traceable, transparent and sustainable.
Fresh From Thai is building digital infrastructure to connect farmers, enterprises, exporters, buyers and investors through verifiable data, while supporting ESG and Sustainable Procurement requirements.
The future of exports will not be decided by price alone. It will be shaped by trust across the entire supply chain.
Fresh From Thai is building trusted, traceable and sustainable agricultural supply chains that connect Thai producers with global buyers, investors and green finance.
SUSTAINABLE GI FRAMEWORK
This framework builds on FAO’s environmental, social and economic dimensions, reinforced by GI integrity and evidence buyers can use.
GLOBAL BUYER READINESS
No single requirement set applies to every country, buyer or crop. Each programme must start with the destination market and agreed procurement brief.
Registration, right to use, geography, specification and lot segregation
Law, food safety, plant health, residues, packaging and documents
Soil, water, inputs, climate, energy, biodiversity and waste risks
Responsible labour, safety, rights, equity, skills and community
Season, volume, quality, risk, continuity and fair commercial practice
Lot data, chain of custody, indicators, proof and accurate claims
CONNECTED CAPABILITIES
Sustainable GI extends origin-linked quality into measurable environmental, social and economic progress that global buyers can understand and use.
Maintain registered geography, product specification, authorised use, lot separation and truthful claims.
Improve soil, water, biodiversity, climate adaptation, input risk, energy, waste and circular use where material.
Support safe and fair work, local know-how, inclusion, skills, gender equity and the next generation of producers.
Strengthen producer viability, fairer value distribution, rural employment and long-term supply resilience.
Define baselines, indicators, records, chain of custody and verification appropriate to the claim and market.
Review results with producers and buyers, correct gaps and raise ambition over successive seasons.
PEOPLE / PLACE / PROGRESSGLOBAL QUALITY / LOCAL ROOTS
A credible sustainability pathway keeps local knowledge and producer livelihoods visible while turning environmental, social and economic priorities into measurable action.

Fresh From Thai is developing digital infrastructure that connects source, lot, quality, packing and delivery information so farmers, enterprises, exporters, buyers and investors can work with traceable data across the chain.
Requirements vary, but commonly include legal compliance, food safety, traceability, origin integrity, environmental risk management, responsible labour, supply resilience and evidence that supports any sustainability claim.
Transparent data, traceability and ESG evidence build confidence, reduce procurement risk and help a supply chain connect with global buyers, investors and green finance.
