    Pakistan to register Himalayan pink salt as Geographical Indications
  • Pakistan has decided to register Himalayan pink salt as Geographical Indications to prevent its unauthorized use by other countries.

    GI is a sign used on products that have a specific geographical origin and possess origin-based qualities and reputation in the region.

    The salt is extracted from the Salt Range in Punjab which extends south of the Potohar Plateau and north of the Jhelum River.

    Decision was taken to curb unauthorized use of Pakistan's GI

  • The decision was taken in a meeting with the Intellectual Property Organisation (IPO) Pakistan chaired by Commerce Adviser Razak Dawood.

    IPO Chairman Mujeeb Ahmed Khan also attended the meeting, the Dawn newspaper reported on Friday.

    An official announcement said that during the meeting, GI registration of products from various regions of Pakistan was discussed to curb the unauthorized use of Pakistan's GI by others.

  • Notably, Pakistan is fighting a case in the 27-member European Union against India's move to get Basmati rice registered as its product.

    "We decided that, after registration of rice, pink salt from the Salt Range mountains of Pakistan will be registered as GI," the advisor said, adding that this will encourage and motivate producers to expand their business at a global level.
