Why does the provenance on labels not guarantee the real origin of the product?
When we see labels indicating the origin of a product, such as "Iranian sturgeon caviar", it is natural to think that the product really comes from those places. However, in reality, this information can be misleading.
- Lack of regulation: In many cases, regulations on designation of origin can be lax or poorly enforced. This means that a product labelled as "Iranian" or "Spanish" may not necessarily have been produced in Iran or Spain, but could come from somewhere else without the same characteristics and quality standards.
- Misleading commercial practices: Some traders may label a product in a misleading way to increase its perceived value. For example, caviar might be labelled as "Iranian" to give the impression that it is of high quality, although it actually comes from another country with different standards.
- Global supply chains: In the age of globalisation, products may pass through several hands and countries before reaching the final consumer. This can make it difficult to accurately track where a product actually comes from, especially if there is not adequate traceability throughout the supply chain.

La importancia de la referencia en el CITES
CITES is an international treaty that aims to regulate international trade in endangered species of wild fauna and flora. A key part of this treaty is the assignment of reference codes to signatory countries to indicate the origin of products derived from protected species.
- For example, "CN" refers to China and "IT" to Italy. These codes are crucial to verify the authenticity of a product and ensure that it complies with international regulations on conservation and trade of endangered species.
