Registry to formally append GI tag to the Basmati rice

For some odd reason, it has taken India almost seven years to legitimately start the procedure to ensure Basmati rice. This premium, scented assortment of rice merits Geographic Indication (GI) status under the worldwide licensed innovation rights (IPR) administration. To be sure, this procedure is long past due, given offers by different nations to eat into India's piece of the overall industry by offering their items under comparable sounding brand names - Kasmati, Jasmati and Taxmati being only a few illustrations.

Claims from Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Odisha are as yet pending.
