Indi 2nd Indian lime variety to earn GI tag.
Jun 21, 2023
Indi lime, belonging to the ‘Kagzi’ variety, has earned a geographical indication (GI) tag for eight years from the Union government. This is the second lime after the Assam lime to be accorded this recognition.
The Karnataka State Lime Development Board (KSLDB), University of Horticultural Sciences Bagalkot (UHSB) and the Horticulture Department Vijayapura had worked relentlessly for the last five years to get this tag, with which growers can now expect exports of lime to about 25 countries.
Vijayapura district accounts for 58% of all lime produced in Karnataka, which ranks fourth among the states in lime cultivation.
Santosh Sappandi, the managing director, KSLDB, told TOI a fresh proposal had been submitted to the Geographical Indications Registry of the Union government on March 26, 2021. 'Our proposal has been registered on the website of Intellectual Property India, with validity until March 25, 2031. We are now awaiting the certification from Delhi,' Sappandi said.
Historian Krishna Kolhar Kulkarni noted that though there is no evidence on cultivation of lime in the 15th century, during the rule of Yusuf Adil Shah, it is still widely believed that lime was much in vogue around that time in the Muslim community and the sultans had encouraged lime cultivation on the banks of River Bhima. 'It is believed that the Vijayapura region served as the hub for cultivation of lime, grapes, oranges, mangoes and various other fruit varieties,' Kulkarni said.
Explaining the unique features of Indi lime, Sappandi said it’s rich in ascorbic acid and has lesser seeds. 'It has a very thin rind, but is highly juicy. It is high on demand in national and international markets. The GI tag will now help further enhance its popularity across the world,' he added.
Ashok Allapur, former chairman, KSLDB, said Indi lime is now the main crop for about 11,000 growers in the region. 'Experts from UHSB and the Horticulture Department have played a crucial role in creating awareness on growing this variety, with the fruit deriving its name from Indi taluk that alone accounts for 50% of the ‘Kagzi’ lime production in Vijayapura,' he added.
