Bihar to promote exports of GI-tagged agri products.
Jun 22, 2022

To promote the exports of locally sourced agriculture products in Bihar, the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) has identified six potential products to be registered for a GI tag.
 
Dr Sunil Kumar, chief general manager of NABARD’s regional office in Bihar said 'In Bihar, we are helping in producers’ group formation and GI filing of six identified products and for post GI initiatives.
 
'This is in line with 'Vocal for Local' and is going to help the producers in brand building, better marketing and visibility, boost regional economy and provide employment opportunities to people', he added.
 
Once approved, this will benefit more than 2,000 producers involved with these six products.
 
Some of the agricultural and non-agricultural products of the state awaiting for the GI tagging include Nalanda Bawanbooti saree and fabrics, Gaya Pattharkatti stone craft, Hajipur Banana (Chiniya kela), Gaya Tilkut, Runni Saidpur Balushahi and Udwantnagar Khurma.
 
The Central government, with an aim to promote local products, has been striving to identify new products and new export destinations.
 
These identifications help local artisans to take another step in gaining global recognition for their product.
