Valorisation of a local asset: The case of olive oil on Lesvos Island, Greece

► Compare valorisation of PGI, organic and conventional olive oil products in peripheral area. ► Analyse supply chain and benefits to actors with size of production and success of the producers. ► Farmers “cut-off” from benefits, except small producers - bottlers; scale of production important. ► Subsidies to farmers for social and environmental reasons; not for effective economic valorisation. ► PGI useful tool, not warrant of success and positive impacts to area; common management important.
