Geographical indication

It was awarded the Geographical Indication (GI) status tag from the Geographical Indications Registry under the Union Government of India on 31 July 2023 (valid until 13 June 2031). [12] [6]

Sagam Mushqbudji Farmer Producer Company Limited from Sagam, proposed the GI registration of Mushqbudji rice. After filing the application in June 2021, the rice was granted the GI tag in 2023 by the Geographical Indication Registry in Chennai, making the name "Mushqbudji rice" exclusive to the rice grown in the region. [13] [14] [15] It thus became the first rice variety from Jammu and Kashmir and the 11th type of goods from Jammu and Kashmir to earn the GI tag.

The GI tag protects the rice from illegal selling and marketing, and gives it legal protection and a unique identity.[ citation needed ]
