Kathiya Gehu (wheat) from the Bundelkhand region in Uttar Pradesh has received the first Geographical Indication (GI) tag for a farm produce in the area.
Bundelkhand wheat variety gets GI tag.
Kathiya wheat, also known as Durum wheat, is indigenous to the region and is rich in nutrition. Additionally, it is gluten-free, making it a healthier option for consumers.
The GI tag will help in promoting Kathiya wheat as an indigenous brand. Its unique qualities, including its ability to thrive in harsh climatic conditions with minimal water requirement, will enhance its brand value and contribute to the prosperity of farmers in the region.
