Gujarat has expanded its catalogue of geographical indication (GI)–tagged agricultural products by adding Unjha cumin and Unjha fennel, according to reports. The Economic Times and The Hindu both state that these two products receive GI recognition, reflecting the regional identity associated with their cultivation and processing in Gujarat. The Hindu notes that the state already has several GI-tagged agricultural items, including Gir Kesar mangoes, Bhalia wheat, Kachchhi kharek, and Amalsadi chikoo. With the new additions, Gujarat’s GI portfolio grows to include the Unjha varieties of cumin and fennel alongside these previously recognized products. All sources present the development as an update to the list of GI-tagged agricultural goods within the state, rather than as a change in ownership or any separate policy move. The reports do not provide additional details on timelines, certification bodies, or the specific legal implications beyond the GI tagging itself.
