What is a GI tag?
A GI or Geographical Indication is sign given to certain products that relate to a specific geographical location or origins of those products.
The GI tag certifies that the particular product is produced using traditional methods and has a reputation because of its geographical origin.
It ensures that none other than those registered as authorized users are allowed to use the popular product name.
GI tags are mainly given to wine and spirit drinks, foodstuffs, agricultural products, handicrafts, and industrial products.
