Geographical Indicators
as Tools of Economic
Development
Ekta Sood1 and Yogita Sharma1
Abstract
A geographical indication (GI) defines a product as being from a certain place,
when the product’s quality, reputation, or other attributes are largely related to
its location. GI is a collective property, not a private one. It can be registered by
an organisation representing the interests of a group of people in practically all
nations. GIs helps in achieving and boosting rural development, environmental
sustainability, consumer awareness and many other aspects. GIs are especially
beneficial to agricultural product producers since they allow them to differenti-
ate their products from common commodity items such as rice, coffee and tea,
allowing them to get market access. A sturdy GI ecosystem has numerous advan-
tages. It will automatically address the three contentious issues faced by India—
poor pay for talent, low female labour force participation and urban migration.
On the evolution side, some GIs have resulted in improved and superior unique-
ness of rural employment.
