Government Works on Registration as a Geographical Indication of Tlugi

Karlo Amirgulashvili, Head of the Biodiversity and Forestry Department of the Ministry of Environment and Agriculture declares that the agency is consulting on the protection of Tlugi as a geographical indication.

"Ratcha's Sochi is one of the important agrarian exporting resources, just like wine. This is a Georgian brand, whose name is being negotiated internally. We hope that the issue will be resolved positively. We want to register Tlugi as a geographical indication.

A very large percentage of Western European countries consume Christmas trees made from cone seeds taken from the village of Tlugi in the Ambrolauri district of Georgia for Christmas. It should become a brand and occupy a serious niche in terms of tourism.", notes Karlo Amirgulashvili.
