The Korean government focuses attention on the branding of fisheries products to improve the competitive power of fisheries products, and to use regional brands as a part of fishery product branding. Accordingly, this paper examines the value of regional brands in the fishery product market, specifically seaweed, to identify price factors that reflect regional differences. The hedonic pricing method is used to examine the value of regional branding, and as a result of the analysis, geographical indication is expected to cause an approximate 30-40% increase in the unit price of sea mustard and sea tangle. Geographical indication is shown to have an effect on forming the value of a product, implying regional branding can improve competitiveness.
