country or a specific area or location within that region, where the product’s quality, reputation, or other
characteristics are primarily attributable to its geographic origin. GI tags serve as a strategic tool to support

global stage. They represent a link between the past and the present, contributing to economic sustainability

international markets, and contributing to the diversification of the national economy.
