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.
