RESUMO:

A coastal strip located in the southeast of the state of Bahia became popularly known as Costa do Dendê, as it is the territory of origin of the secular production of palm oil in Brazil, one of the most typical products of afro-brazilian culinary. The traditional techniques of cultivation and processing of oil palm constitute a legacy of African culture in Brazil that has been consolidated over the centuries, giving rise to an olive oil specific to the territory, of accentuated color and flavor that is only produced in some places of Bahia and of Africa. However, there has been a decline in baian palm oil production over the years due to the absence of public policies and financial incentives that can support the hundreds of family farmers who make up most of the agents involved in baian palm oil production. There is an aging of the workforce and with this the risk of the disappearance of traditional knowledge and practices that involve the production of this oil, since families cannot guarantee their own sustenance and current generations are not encouraged to remain in the activity. Thus, this research presents some theoretical-conceptual and empirical arguments about the territorialization process of Costa do Dendê, seeking to verify the competitive advantages related to the specificities of olive oil produced in the territory. Finally, we propose a discussion on the registration of Geographical Indication for Costa do Dendê as a possible instrument of valorization and protection of traditional olive oil, whose know-how goes back to the arrival of the first african populations to Brazil. It is believed that this work can contribute to the debate about the valorization of Costa do Dendê as the territory of origin of a specific resource and, therefore, collaborate to strengthen the various actors involved in the productive organization of Costa do Dendê palm oil.
