A few days ago, we told you about Manipur’s Hathei chilli and Tamenglong orange when they received the GI tag and were in news for the same reason. For those living under a rock, GI tag or geographical indication is a sign that’s awarded to a commodity that has a specific status or quality primarily due to its place of origin. This label not only confirms a product’s authenticity but also prevents its misuse by a third party that may sell something by falsely giving it the name of that reputed product without conforming to the applicable standards.
Still, we have provided a recipe for rice wine, in case you wish to make that.
