Geographical Indications (GIs) are products that have differentiated qualities and characteristics, being the result of a series of agents that act in the territory where they were produced. In Brazil the first GI occurs in Vale dos Vinhedos (wine) in 2002, followed by the GI of the Cerrado Mineiro Region (coffee), being this GI, with its characteristics, highlighted in this work. In this context, a series of characteristics about Geographical Indications will be presented, such as their genesis in Brazil, their relationship with the territory, their selectivity, their spatialization, definitions and core products. The characteristics of coffee cultivation in Brazil will also be exposed, especially in the Cerrado Mineiro Region, presenting its dynamics, the political and economic issues that led to the cultivation in the region, as well as the relationship with the technical-scientific-informational environment. The main objective of this work is to recognize the strategies devised by coffee growers that led the Cerrado Mineiro coffee to achieve the certification of Geographical Indication, observing the dynamics of the process, its selectivity and its relations of appropriation of territorial attributes. The methodological procedures were organized into four stages: bibliographic review, collection of secondary data, field research and preparation of maps, graphs and charts, being a qualitative research. According to the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI), in the first half of 2021, Brazil had 93 Gis distributed in all regions. Emphasizing the Geographical Indication of Coffee from the Cerrado Mineiro Region it was possible to realize a product linked to globalization, which generates various transformations in its territory, as for its selectivity can be scored two strands: one that exposes that all coffee growers, with support from cooperatives and associations, can get the certification and obtain the GI, and another strand that exposes that the process of GI is selective and that the adaptations needed for the certification are not accessible to all growers.
