  1. Laurent Damiens, CNIEL, France PDO EUROPEAN DAIRY QUALITY PRODUCTS How to promote & communicate in Third Countries, without strong PDO recognition ?

  2. HOW DO WE DEVELOP GENERIC COMMUNICATION PROGRAMS, COFINANCED BY THE EU, TO HELP MARKET DEVELOPMENT FOR PDOs IN THIRD COUINTRIES WITHOUT PDO RECOGNATION ? • SOME EXAMPLES OF E.U. CO-FINANCED GENERIC CHEESE COMMUNCATION FOR PDOs : IN THE USA, IN BRAZIL

  3. PDO DAIRY PRODUCTS The PDO is a system that protects a cultural and gastronomic heritage : but some countries don’t understand this concept and do not recognize it ! It is an official quality scheme protected by the EU and all Member States Authorities : it is a public protection, vs private Brands and private Registrations, that some countries only recognize ! • A PDO product CANNOT be copied in Europe and in third countries who recognize our PDO system. But some countries , like in the US, in Canada… do not recognize our concept of heritage and local culture protection, and have developed “Copies”, or consider some PDO names as generic names ! • Thus, through communication, we need to explain and make the difference : • 1) by creating a specific commercial brand ; ex : Roquefort, Comté… (in the US) • 2) by saying the original one is from Europe ; ex : Camembert, Roquefort… (in Brazil) • 3) by communicating to the consumer the differences between the local copy and the original real one from Europe.

  4. THE PDO DAIRY PRODUCTS More than 197 European PDO dairy products (187 cheeses). • Thus, it is strategic for the EU… In France, PDO dairies represent 25% of all European PDO dairies in Europe : • Over 233 000 tons of cheese, butter and cream. • About 16 % of aged cheeses. • Over 18 000 dairy farmers deliver milk used in PDO production 45 cheeses, 3 butters and 2 creams : 10% of the french milk production In 2014, the five PDO cheeses below represented 50% of French PDO production : • Comté : 43 555 tons • Cantal : 18 828 tons • Roquefort : 18 719 tons • Reblochon : 16 636 tons • Camembert de Normandie 12 747 tons In France, it is strategic to defend et develop the concept of PDO dairies from Europe !

  15. Main learnings about french cheese in Brazil • Appreciation • French cheese is very strongly appreciated by the affluent Brazilian consumer : mean of 4,1/6 • A performance on par with Italian cheese, but higher than American, Dutch or Spanish cheeses, though lower than local cheese Image • French cheese evokes spontaneously the association with wine or bread, the taste (good taste, delicious, strong flavour), the wide variety of French cheeses • French cheese image is positive : theyare appreciated first for their taste, their character, their suitability for special occasions or for guests and for their refinement. • Several obstacles to consumption : their liking by the whole family, the adaptation of the product to the local eating habits and to local cooking, their capacity to be consumed everyday. • Some additional leverage to increase the consumption: the capacity of French cheese to be used in sandwiches and the familiarity with French cheese.
