Abstract

The certification seals build a relationship of trust between producer and consumer, creating
opportunities for products and sustainability in the field. However, there is a need to
understand the profiles of the main coffee certification seals used in the coffee marketing
places. Therefore, the study monitored the profile of coffee with certification seals displayed
on the shelves in marketing places, located in Piracicaba/Brazil, and Perpignan/France. This
study monitored the profile of coffee certification seals in marketing places located in Brazil
(Piracicaba, São Paulo region) and France (Perpignan, Occitania region) between 2022 and
2023. In both countries, data on coffee displayed on the shelves was monitored in the
marketing places (supermarkets, hypermarkets, and wholesalers). Results showed that in
Perpignan/France, there was a higher variety of coffees with certification seals in
hypermarkets, compared with Piracicaba/Brazil. In Perpignan/France, part of the coffee
displayed on the shelves was produced in Brazil (17.9%), Colombia (17.9%), Ethiopia
(14.3%), and Peru (14.7%). While the coffee found on the shelves in Piracicaba/Brazil, was
produced in Brazil, without coffee derived from another country. Environmental seals were
most frequently found on coffee displayed on the shelves, in approximately 43% of the
products. In Perpignan/France, there was an increase in value of 26% between traditional
coffee without a seal and coffee with a seal, and an increase of 133% between traditional
coffee without a seal and organic coffee. In Piracicaba/Brazil, there was an increase in value
of 34% between traditional coffee without a seal and coffee with a seal. Based on the results
concluded that coffee certification seals promote the coffee price with an increase of coffee
varieties displayed on the shelves in marketing places located in Brazil and Perpignan/France.
