Geographical indication
[edit | edit source]Vasmat Haldi was awarded the Geographical Indication (GI) status tag from the Geographical Indications Registry under the Union Government of India on 30 March 2024 (valid until 19 October 2031).
Honourable Balasaheb Thackeray Haridra Research and Training Center from Vasmat, proposed the GI registration of Vasmat Haldi (turmeric).[4][5][6] After filing the application in October 2021, the Turmeric was granted the GI tag in 2024 by the Geographical Indication Registry in Chennai, making the name "Vasmat Haldi (turmeric)" exclusive to the Turmeric grown in the region. It thus became the third turmeric variety from Maharashtra after Sangli turmeric and the 37th type of goods from Maharashtra to earn the GI tag.
