Popis: The model of the territorial-based basket of goods and services explains how valuing a group of specific quality products from a territory and the services related to them, could contribute to the territorial development. This article starts from this perspective and through the case study of the wilaya of Ain Témouchent in Algeria, it tests the applicability and validity of this model in a rural area on the southern shore of the Mediterranean. From the analysis of the different elements of the model, the specific offer of products and services of the territory, the demand generated by consumption linked to the idea of territory and the combination of public and private goods, we study the advantages and limitations in valuing local resources, as well as the necessary processes to configure a basket of territorial goods.
