APEDA facilitated the first international export of GI-tagged Gulbarga Tur Dal from Karnataka to the Maldives.
The Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) recently assisted in the export of a one-metric-tonne consignment of Gulbarga Tur Dal to the Maldives. This initiative is part of a broader government push to boost the export potential of indigenous, GI-tagged agricultural products. By connecting local Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) with international markets, the government aims to enhance the bargaining power and income of pulses farmers in the Kalaburagi region.
The Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act, 1999, provides for the registration and better protection of geographical indications relating to goods in India. A GI tag acts as a certification that a product possesses certain qualities, is made according to traditional methods, or enjoys a specific reputation due to its geographical origin.
Product: Gulbarga Tur Dal (a variety of pigeon pea)
Origin: Kalaburagi (formerly Gulbarga) district, Karnataka
GI Registration Year: 2019
Export Destination: Maldives
Facilitating Agency: APEDA (under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry)

Remember that Gulbarga (Kalaburagi) is the 'Tur Bowl' of Karnataka; associating 'Tur' with 'Tur-kistans' or simply the Kalaburagi region helps link the crop to its specific geography in the Deccan Plateau.
