GI Tagged Food Item from North East INDIA.


The northeastern region of India is a rich reservoir of indigenous agri-horticultural crops, and many
of the crops have immense commercial potential. However, the region, despite its rich biodiversity,
has not been able to take full advantage of GI tagging and shares only 17.18% of the total GI-tagged crops. All total 22 specialty crops of NE India, namely, 4 cereals (Chak-Hao, Chokuwa Rice, Boka Chaul and Joha Rice); 9 fruits (Arunachal Orange, Kachai Lemon, Kaji Nemu, Khasi Mandarin, Memong Narang, Naga Tree Tomato, Tamenglong Orange, Tezpur Litchi and Tripura Queen
Pineapple); 7 spices (Assam Karbi Anglong Ginger, Dalle Khursani, Hathei Chilli, Mizo Chilli, Mizo Ginger, Naga Mircha and Sikkim Large Cardamom); 1 tea (Assam Orthodox) and 1 vegetable (Naga Cucumber) have been GI registered. Among these, 7 crops belong to Assam, 3 crops each belong to Manipur and Nagaland, 2 crops each belong to Meghalaya and Mizoram, and 1 crop each belongs to Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim and Tripura. In addition, GI registration of Chak-hao is shared by
Manipur and Nagaland, and Dalle Khursani is shared by Sikkim and West Bengal, respectively.
