Целью исследования является оценка влияния восприятия регионального бренда на лояльность к локальным брендам, а также анализ модерирующей роли неопределенности происхождения в условиях объединения провинций. В работе использован количественный подход с применением метода PLS-SEM. Эмпирическую базу составили данные опроса 628 домохозяйств Северного Вьетнама. Результаты показали, что восприятие регионального бренда оказывает положительное и статистически значимое влияние на лояльность (β = 0,257; p &lt; 0,001), тогда как неопределенность происхождения оказывает отрицательное влияние (β = −0,306; p &lt; 0,001) и ослабляет данную зависимость (модерирующий эффект β = −0,200; p = 0,007). Модель объясняет 28,7% вариации лояльности (R² = 0,287), что свидетельствует о значимой, но уязвимой роли регионального брендинга в условиях институциональных изменений. Полученные результаты подчеркивают необходимость повышения прозрачности информации о происхождении продукции и согласованности региональных брендинговых стратегий для поддержания экономической устойчивости локальных рынков.</p><p>Предоставляя эмпирические данные в условиях трансформирующегося административного контекста, исследование вносит вклад в литературу по региональному маркетингу и предлагает практические рекомендации для органов государственной власти, кооперативов и производителей, направленные на сохранение экономической ценности локальных продуктов в условиях структурных реформ.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>In the context of administrative transformations and the enlargement of territorial units in Vietnam, the problem of uncertainty of the origin of products is increasing, which affects the stability of local markets and consumer behavior. The aim of the study is to assess the impact of regional brand perception on loyalty to local brands, as well as to analyze the moderating role of uncertainty of origin in the context of provincial unification. The paper uses a quantitative approach using the PLS-SEM method. The empirical base consisted of data from a survey of 628 households in North Vietnam. The results showed that the perception of a regional brand has a positive and statistically significant effect on loyalty (β = 0.257; p &lt; 0.001), while uncertainty of origin has a negative effect (β = -0.306; p &lt; 0.001) and weakens this dependence (moderating effect β = -0.200; p = 0.007). The model explains 28.7% of the loyalty variation (R² = 0.287), which indicates a significant but vulnerable role of regional branding in the context of institutional changes. The results obtained emphasize the need to increase the transparency of information about the origin of products and the consistency of regional branding strategies in order to maintain the economic stability of local markets. By providing empirical evidence from an evolving administrative context, the study contributes to regional marketing literature and offers practical insights for policymakers, cooperatives, and producers aiming to safeguard local economic value amid structural reforms.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>бренд</kwd><kwd>региональный брендинг</kwd><kwd>лояльность к бренду</kwd><kwd>поведение потребителей</kwd><kwd>непонимание потребителей</kwd><kwd>маркетинговая стратегия</kwd><kwd>устойчивость экономики</kwd><kwd>Вьетнам</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Brand</kwd><kwd>Regional Branding</kwd><kwd>Brand Loyalty</kwd><kwd>Consumer Behavior</kwd><kwd>Consumer Confusion</kwd><kwd>Marketing Strategy</kwd><kwd>Economic Resilience</kwd><kwd>Vietnam</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">исследование частично финансируется Университетом финансов и маркетинга.</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="en">the study is partly funded by University of Finance-Marketing.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Agnihotri, D., Chaturvedi, P., &amp; Tripathi, V.
