Benefits of GItag The Geographical Indication registration confers the following benefits: •It offers legal protection to the products and prevents unauthorised use of GI tagged products by other producers who aren’t producing in that locality. •GI tags make it easy for consumers to get quality products of desired traits, and they’re assured of its authenticity. •GI tags promote the economic prosperity of producers of GI tagged goods by enhancing their demand in national and international markets. This can also help boost the country’s rate of economic growth. •GI tagged goods which are exported can help the country improve its Balance of Payments position. •GI tagged food materials can also help a country boost its GDP through tourism. More tourists might frequent the geographical origin of the product to get their hands on the delicious delicacy being produced there. •Most importantly, the use of GI tags can help allocate resources more efficiently. For instance, the quality of rice grown in a specific region may be excellent in region-A, while the quality of wheat may be excellent in region-B. •While previously, there was no specialise involved in the food production process, once both region-A and region-B begin to specialise in different crop production, that particular country can then make the most efficient use of available resources. •One of the most beautiful sides to embracing the use of GI tags in the food production process is how it can help preserve traditional cuisines. •More importantly, a significant portion of the food processing industry is done in an unorganized manner in many countries. The adoption of GI tags for food production can allow for systematic food production and food processing. •GI can be considered either directly or indirectly, as driving forces of food safety. We hope that GI tags will help bring about a revolution in the global food industry concerning food quality and food safety.

Rights Provided ByGeographical Indications ◦ A geographical indication right enables those who have the right to use the indication to prevent its use by a third party whose product does not conform to the applicable standards. For example, in the jurisdictions in which the Darjeeling geographical indication is protected, producers of Darjeeling tea can exclude use of the term “Darjeeling” for tea not grown in their tea gardens or not produced according to the standards set out in the code of practice for the geographical indication. ◦ However, a protected geographical indication does not enable the holder to prevent someone from making a product using the same techniques as those set out in the standards for that indication. Protection for a geographical indication is usually obtained by acquiring a right over the sign that constitutes the indication.

There are three main ways to protect a geographical indication: •So-called sui generis systems (i.e. special regimes of protection); •Using collective or certification marks; and •Methods focusing on business practices, including administrative product approval schemes. These approaches involve differences with respect to important questions, such as the conditions for protection or the scope of protection. •Broadly speaking geographical indications are protected in different countries and regional systems through a wide variety of approaches. •These approaches have been developed in accordance with different legal traditions and within a framework of individual historical and economic conditions.
