Economy / GI & Agro-Diversity
Arunachal Pradesh has applied for Geographical Indication (GI) registration for 10 traditional agricultural products, aiming to secure formal recognition for the state’s diverse indigenous crops. The list includes Bagra pineapple, Pasighat jaggery, Baali rice, Idu Yamba (finger millet), Angpu (pumpkin), Mipun rice, Libi Balangbu (white rajma), Bebo (large cardamom), cinnamon, and Andoye (kidney bean).
The move seeks to protect local biodiversity, boost farmer incomes through premium branding, and promote region-specific agricultural heritage. GI status is expected to strengthen market visibility and curb imitation of these unique Arunachali products.
