A geographical indication (GI) is a form of intellectual property that identifies a product as originating from a specific geographical area as its qualities or reputation are tied to its origin. Such labeling guarantees that products sold under a specific name are authentic and meet defined standards, preventing dupes from entering the market. ^{[1] [2]} The protection of geographical indications is established under the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights, signed by members of the World Trade Organization (including Ukraine) on 14 April 1994 and effective from 1 January 1995. ^{[3] [4]} The Lisbon Agreement for the Protection of Appellations of Origin and their International Registration, signed on 31 October 1958, also introduced appellations of origin – a special category of geographical indications that denotes a particularly strong connection between the product and its area of origin. ^{[a] [7]} Unlike trademarks, geographical indications link a product's origin to a region rather than to a specific company. ^[8] Agricultural products are most often registered as GIs, since their characteristics are directly tied to local geographical factors such as climate and soil, although other products, including handicrafts, may receive the status as well. ^[2]

The protection of geographical indications in Ukraine is regulated by the law "On Legal Protection of Geographical Indications" passed on 16 June 1999. ^[6] The law has undergone multiple amendments, particularly since 2019, aimed at aligning Ukraine's framework with European Union standards in preparation of the country's accession to the EU. ^{[9] [10]} As a result, Ukraine's geographical indications and appellation of origins are now analogous to the EU's Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) and Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) labels. ^{[b] [11]} Additional laws also outline the registration and protection of agricultural goods, foods, and spirits. ^{[12] [14]} The Ukrainian National Office for Intellectual Property and Innovations  [ uk ] (IP Office) – the national authority responsible for intellectual property protection ^[15] – reviews GI applications, manages the national GI register, and coordinates international cooperation in the field. ^{[c] [6]} Applications – submitted by an association of producers, or by a single legal or natural person if they are the sole producer of the good – must detail a product's connections to the geographical area, its specific method of production, and its resulting unique qualities. The IP Office may declare a GI invalid if its registration violates the law or if a court determines that the production of the good has become impossible due to changes in the geographical area. ^{[17] [18]} Ukraine's legislation also protects numerous foreign geographical indications and appellations of origin, specifically those established by separate agreements with the European Union, ^[19] Georgia, ^[20] Italy, and Russia. ^[21] These items are not covered in this list as they do not originate in Ukraine.

As of October 2025, thirty items from Ukraine are listed on the country's Register of Geographical Indications, or 3,134 in total including foreign entries. Myrhorodska mineral water, Sonyachna Dolyna wine, and Skhidnytska mineral water were the first to enter the register on 15 March 2007. ^[13] On 11 November 2019, Hutsul sheep bryndzya became the first registered GI to meet the requirements of the European Union. ^[22] The most recent addition to the register is Frumushika steppe honey, registered on 3 September 2025. ^[13] Odesa and Zakarpattia oblasts (regions) are best represented in the register, largely due to the creation of wine and taste routes in Ukrainian Bessarabia and Zakarpattia – a culinary tourism initiative supported by the European Union. ^{[23] [24]}

Paint is applied using brushes made from cat hair or plant materials. This cultural element is inscribed on the National Register and the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage. [57]
Chabag Шабаг	Wine, sparkling wine	20 December 2023	Odesa Oblast	3125	AO	Proximity to the Dniester Estuary, along with the distinctive local soil and climate conditions, makes Shabo a favorable area for grape cultivation and winemaking. The red, white, and sparkling wines are produced exclusively from locally grown grape varieties, including the autochthonous Telti-Kuruk  [ uk ]. [58]
Acha-Abag Аша-Абаг	Wine, sparkling wine		Odesa Oblast	3126	GI	Proximity to the Dniester Estuary, along with the distinctive local soil and climate conditions, makes Shabo a favorable area for grape cultivation and winemaking.

Prydunaiska Bessarabia Придунайська Бессарабія	Wine, sparkling wine		Odesa Oblast	3127	GI	The proximity of numerous water bodies (lakes of Yalpuh, Kuhurlui, Cahul  [ uk; ro ], Katlabuh  [ uk ], and Kytai  [ uk ], as well as the Danube and the Black Sea) moderates the local climate and makes the sunlight more scattered and intense, creating favorable conditions for grape cultivation. The well-drained chernozem soil reduces grape yield but enhances the quality of the resulting dry, semi-dry, and semi-sweet red, white, and sparkling wines. [60]
Yalpuh Ялпуг	Wine		Odesa Oblast	3128	AO	The proximity of the vineyards to Lake Yalpuh moderates the local climate and makes the sunlight more scattered and intense, creating favorable conditions for grape cultivation. The well-drained chernozem soil reduces grape yield but enhances the quality of the resulting wines. The dry red and white wines are produced entirely from locally grown grapes, specifically containing at least 85% of the local Odesa Black  [ uk ] and Sukholymanskyi White  [ uk ] varieties, respectively. [61]
Zakarpattia / Zakarpattia wine / Zakarpatske vyno Закарпаття/Закарпатське вино	Wine	29 May 2024	Zakarpattia Oblast	3129	GI	Zakarpattia's proximity to the Carpathians results in a pronounced difference between day and night temperatures and a reduced risk of frost, while its temperate, well-ventilated climate provides favorable conditions for grape cultivation. The red, rosé, and white wines are characterized by relatively low alcohol content and high titrated acidity. [62]
Khersonsky kavun / Kherson watermelon † Херсонський кавун	Watermelon	24 July 2024	Kherson Oblast	3130	AO	The moderately moist sandy soils and relatively warm climate of left-bank Kherson Oblast produce high-quality watermelons. The heat resistance of local varieties allows for continued sugar accumulation in the fruits, yielding especially sweet (at least 12  °Bx) and dense watermelons with an elongation ratio of 1–1.2. [63]
Med Zakarpattia / Zakarpattia honey / Zakarpatskyy med Мед Закарпаття/Закарпатський мед	Honey		Zakarpattia Oblast	3131	GI	This honey is produced by a local breed of Carniolan bees from wildflowers that grow on the foothills and highlands of the Carpathians. The unique local climate and flora give rise to distinct types of honey, including those made of bilberries, raspberries, fireweed, and giant knotweed, as well as polyfloral and honeydew varieties. [64]
Frumushika Valley Долина Фрумушика	Wine		Odesa Oblast	3132	AO	The steppe terrain, little rainfall, and unique soil characteristics of the Frumushika River  [ uk ] valley create favorable conditions for grape cultivation. The dry red, rosé, and white wines are produced entirely from the locally grown Tsytronnyi Maharacha, Rkatsiteli, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. [65]
Myaso baranyny Frumushika / Frumushika sheep meat М'ясо баранини Фрумушика/Баранина Фрумушика	Sheep meat		Odesa Oblast	3133	GI	Sheep herding has deep roots in Bessarabia, and it disappeared in most of the region in the late 19th to early 20th centuries with the introduction of crop cultivation. However, it has survived in remote areas such as the Frumushika River valley, where local breeds of sheep (Karakul, Tsigai, and Hissar) graze on the diverse grasses of the steppe. The mutton or lamb exhibits marbling and has a sweet, grassy, and nutty flavor. [66]
Frumushika steppe honey Мед степовий Фрумушика	Honey	3 September 2025	Odesa Oblast	3134	GI	The polyfloral honey is collected in late July from wildflowers of the Budjak Steppe, some of which are only endemic to this area. It is characterized by a deep yellow color with a greenish hue, a flavor resembling apples and pears, and a slight bitter aftertaste. [67]

Notes

1. Although Ukraine is not a signatory of the Lisbon Agreement, ^[5] its national law defines and protects appellations of origin. ^[6]
2. Another similar label is the Traditional Speciality Guaranteed (TSG), which applies to food products using a traditional method or recipe but not linked to a specific geographical area. ^[11] Although TSGs are defined under Ukrainian law, ^[12] none are currently inscribed on the national register. ^[13]
3. Before the creation of the IP Office on 8 November 2022, these functions were carried out by the Ukrainian Institute of Intellectual Property. ^[16]
4. These areas include the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol, which were occupied and annexed by Russia in 2014, ^[25] as well as Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia oblasts (regions) that have been under partial occupation since 2022 and subsequently annexed as part of the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war. ^{[26] [27]} Most countries recognize Crimea and other occupied territories as de jure parts of Ukraine while de facto they remain under full or partial Russian control. ^{[28] [29]} Consequently, Russia has appropriated several Ukrainian geographical indications and registered them under its own national system. ^{[30] [31]} The European Union has banned the import of goods produced in these territories. ^{[32] [33]}
5. The English names shown here are taken from the official product specification files when inidicated. Otherwise, they come from the IP Office website. ^{[13] [34]} These names do not follow a single format: they may use different romanization systems, and alternative names are only occasionally accounted for. Other possible spellings are shown in footnotes. Ukrainian names are shown below with Ukrainian Wikipedia links if applicable. Some names were registered in all capitals, which is not shown here for consistency.
6. First-level administrative division (oblast, autonomous republic, or city with special status) that contains the protected area of the product
7. The gaps in the numbers represent foreign geographical indications and appellations of origin on the Ukrainian register, particularly those from Russia (4–6, 18, 3114), Georgia (21–42), the EU (43–3110, 3116), and Italy (17, 19, 3112, 3113, 3115). ^[13]
8. Geographical indication (GI) or appellation of origin (AO)
9. Protected in the European Union under the name Soniachna Dolyna (Soniachna Dolina) ^[36]
10. Protected in the European Union under the name Novyj Svit (Novy Svet) ^[36] and indicated as invalid on the IP Office website ^[13]
11. Indicated as invalid on the IP Office website ^[13]
12. Zolota Balka and Balaklava wines are produced by the Zolota Balka Agricultural Firm, headquartered in Sevastopol proper and Balaklava. ^{[45] [46]} In 2023, the Verkhovna Rada merged the area around Balaklava, formerly part of Sevastopol's Balaklavskyi District, into Bakhchysarai Raion of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. As a result, the firm's vineyards are now de jure located outside of Sevastopol's administrative boundaries. ^[47]
