      abstract = {Some rural development strategies are based on the  assumption that quality labels may act as levers for  inducing economic growth and population migration to rural  areas. To investigate the validity of this assumption, we  use a new economic geography model. A specific (“labelled”)  agricultural good is assumed to be produced by farmers who  co-operate in order to set a monopoly price and control the  number of producers. We find that there is a trade-off  between the number of differentiated farmers and their  individual income. Besides, the positive effect of  agricultural differentiation on rural industrialization,  due to increased demand for industrial goods, is offset by  an opposite effect due to urban wages rise. Higher  transport costs for the specific good favour rural  industrialization but limit the size of the differentiated  agricultural sector.},
