The famous saffron-coloured Kesar variety of mango, largely grown around foothills of Girnar mountains in Gujarat's Junagadh district, has got global recognition as 'Gir Kesar' mango after being granted the Geographical Indication (GI) tag.
The Kesar mango is the second variety of mango in India to get GI registration after the Dussheri mango variety grown in Uttar Pradesh.
"GI registration will help the farmers of Junagadh and Amreli district immensely. From now onwards, no other Kesar mango variety, grown in other parts of Gujarat like Kutch, Valsad...can be sold as 'Gir Kesar' mango,"
