Unjha cumin and Unjha fennel were awarded the Geographical Indication (GI) tag to recognise their unique qualities and strong connection with the Unjha region. Gujarat is home to Unjha, one of Asia's largest spice trading centres, where these premium spices are cultivated and traded extensively. The GI certification protects the products from imitation, strengthens their regional identity, improves export opportunities, and enhances consumer confidence in their authenticity. It is also expected to help farmers secure better prices, promote value addition in the spice supply chain, and further strengthen the agricultural economy of Gujarat.
