Basmati Rice Gi Tag

Pakistan has received the Geographical Indicator (GI) tag for its Basmati, paving the way for creating a local registry for the particular strain of rice and making a case in the international market, as the country fights a case in the EU against India's move to get Basmati rice registered as its product.

After Punjab asked the centre not to give geographical indication or GI tag to basmati rice grown in Madhya Pradesh, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has written back to Congress chief Sonia Gandhi complaining against her party leader and Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh.

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan today criticised his Punjab counterpart Amarinder Singh over his letter urging the Centre not to allow GI tagging of basmati rice to Madhya Pradesh.

Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging him not to allow geographical indication (GI) tagging of basmati to Madhya Pradesh, in the larger interest of Punjab and other states that already have GI tag for basmati.

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Monday met Union Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare Minister Narendra Singh Tomar and sought his intervention in getting Geographical Indication tag for Basmati rice produced in the state.

The Madhya Pradesh government has approached the Supreme Court to challenge the Madras High Court's ruling in the matter of not getting GI (geographical indication) tag to the state's Basmati rice-growing regions, State Minister Kamal Patel said on Friday.
