Tamil Nadu is renowned for its rich cultural, agricultural, and artisanal heritage, reflected in the large number of products awarded the Geographical Indication (GI) tag. As of April 2025, Tamil Nadu has 69 GI-tagged products, making it the state with the second-highest number of GI tags in India, just behind Uttar Pradesh. These tags not only protect the unique identity and authenticity of regional products but also support local economies and preserve traditional knowledge.
The latest GI products are (8): Panruti Palappazham (Panruti Jackfruit), Panruti Cashew, Puliyankudi Acid Lime, Virudhunagar Samba Vathal (dried red chillies), Chettikulam Small Onion (shallots), Ramanadu Chithiraikar Rice, Kumbakonam betel leaf of Thanjavur and the Thovalai flower garland of Kanyakumari.
