Where It Comes From
Gir Kesar Mango comes from Junagadh, Amreli and Gir Somnath districts, Gujarat. The GI tag means that only produce from this area, made or grown in the traditional way, may be sold under this name. Producers and traders can register as authorised users of the GI.
Season and Market
May to June. Talala (Gir) market yard holds Kesar mango auctions every season.
What a GI Tag Means for Buyers
A Geographical Indication is registered with the GI Registry in Chennai. It protects a product's name, helps buyers trust its origin, and usually brings a price premium to growers. Buyers should ask suppliers whether they are registered authorised users, look for GI logos and origin details on packs, and buy from known farmer groups, cooperatives and brands in the region.
