Geographical Indications

Geographical indications are names of a place, region or country, which are used to identify products that come from these places and the products have the quality, reputation or other characteristics that are due exclusively to the geographical origin. The protection of geographical indications is of significant importance economically and culturally. They support rural development and promote new job opportunities in processing and production. They also create great value for local communities through products that are deeply rooted in tradition, culture, and geography. Almost all of the countries have a variety of local products, which correspond to the concept of geographical indications but only a few of them are already known or protected globally.
