Abstract
Formerly neglected, typical food products nowadays support a higher involvement of an increasing number of farmers as well as they seem to be in phase with consumers’ expectations. Since directives 2081/92 and 2082/92 European Union had set up PDO and PGI labels as means of valorisation with benefits to typical food products. This paper aims firstly at considering typical food products with respect to consumer perception and secondly at pointing out some methodological results on consumer survey approach. The conclusion is focusing on the commercial development of typical food products.

Keywords: Typical Food Products, Consumer Perception, Agro-food Marketing.

Relevance to our study:
That paper could be relevant to our study to compare the consumer’s behaviour regarding typical food products and other studies regarding organic products.
From that paper, it seems that provenance and origin are similar for most of people. On consumer standpoint typical food products, speciality foods, on farm processed food products, local foods and sometimes organic foods are typical food products (Sirieix, Schaer, 2000). Consumers are looking for products from somewhere. It is not sure that they can differentiate PDO and PGI labels.
