Glossary

A geographical indication identifies a product whose origin is linked to a defined place and whose qualities, reputation, or characteristics are associated with that origin under an applicable legal system. In mango commerce it can distinguish a protected regional product from a cultivar name used elsewhere. Protection, labeling rules, and production specifications depend on the registration and jurisdiction. A geographical indication does not mean every fruit is identical, and a tree grown outside the defined area does not acquire the designation merely by sharing a cultivar name.
