With this, Khirshapat has become the third product after hilsa and jamdani to get the Geographical Indication (GI) tag.
The development comes after the BARI applied for GI certification for the mango variety in February in 2017 on behalf of the growers of Chapainawabganj, one of the main mango-producing districts.
Meanwhile, the BARI has applied for GI recognition for two others --Ashwina and Langra mango, according to the industries ministry.
