Description
TUBER LABEL promotes the strengthening of the Spanish truffle sector's value chain, especially local trade, by addressing issues that the sector itself has identified as weaknesses but that, with a reorientation strategy, can become opportunities.
Objectives
- Identify the profile of black truffle consumers and expand consumption to new market segments.
- Incorporating added value through differentiation of black truffles, promoting their market positioning and direct marketing by producers.
Results
- Creation of a socioeconomic and techno-cultural ecosystem for the sector, standardization of quality standards or criteria for the marketing of black truffles by primary producers, and development of pilot markets as examples for their establishment in other black truffle-producing areas, contributing to local marketing.
- Co-creation of a Smart Label for black truffles.
