Erzurum, a historic province in eastern Türkiye with a well-established culinary identity, is continuing to advance its geographical indication (GI) initiatives to safeguard and promote its traditional food products.
The city has reached a total of 61 registered GI products, while 25 additional applications remain under review by the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office.
