Four Bangladesh items get GI status 

Bangladesh has gained the recognition of its four new products as Geographical Indicator or GI products. 

Those are Haribhanga mangoes from Rangpur, Agor and Agor Ator from Moulvibazar and Monda from Muktagacha. 
Names of those products were published in the journal on Monday. 

With those, Bangladesh has got the ownership of a total of 28 GI products.

Public Relations Officer of Industries Ministry Mohammad Mahmudul Hasan informed this on Monday (February 12).

The industries ministry is going to award Tangail sari the geographical indication (GI) status following a public outcry in Bangladesh, a week after India granted the same recognition to 'Tangail Saree of Bengal'.

The application seeking the GI status for Tangail sari has been accepted for publication in the form of a journal, sources said.
Geographical Indication (GI) is a special name or symbol used for a material. This name or symbol is determined by the geographical location or source (such as a country, region, or city) of a particular item. Geographically recognized materials ensure certain quality standards or specific manufacturing systems or specialties. The biggest advantage of GI products is the branding of the product in the global market, which puts GI products ahead of any other equivalent product.
