Q. Which state has received Geographical Indication (GI) tag for which cashews?
Answer:
Goa
Notes: The Geographical Indication (GI) tag for cashews was given to Goa recently. It ensures that only cashew products from Goa can be labeled as “Goan Cashew”.
The GI tag protects the authenticity of Goan cashews, helps consumers differentiate between authentic and imported cashews, and prevents misleading labeling. This can help prevent nuts imported from Africa from being sold as Goan cashews.
