Explanation:

As a result of getting the GI tag, rice from other regions or rice of other varieties cannot be branded as‘Gobindobhog’.

GI is covered under the Intellectual Property Rights and the Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights. A GI tag certifies the origin of a product or produce from a particular region as the quality or other features of the product is attributable only to the place of its origin. Hence, the marketability of the rice would be strengthened, for the local, national and international markets. The tag helps farmers or manufacturers, as the case maybe, to get a better price in the market.

Learning: This rice has several advantages. It is cultivated late and therefore not much affected by rains. It is less pronetopests as well. Theproductivityperareaishighandfarmersgetbetter prices for Gobindobhog rice.
