The China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) recently announced the recognition of a new batch of geographical indication (GI) products. Three Hunan products made the list, namely, Yuanjiang Asparagus, Datong Lake Rice, and Wuling Liquor. This brings Hunan's total number of national-level GI products to 342.

國家知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)局日前發(fā)布公告,，新認(rèn)定一批地理標(biāo)志產(chǎn)品，湖南省三個(gè)產(chǎn)品入選,，分別是沅江蘆筍,、大通湖大米、武陵酒,。至此,，湖南已有342個(gè)特色產(chǎn)品獲國家地理標(biāo)志保護(hù)。

Hunan boasts profound historical and cultural heritage and a wealth of high-quality specialties. To date, the GI protection scope in the province spans 13 cities and one autonomous prefecture, and 111 counties, county-level cities, and districts. Seven GI products have been included in protection list under the bilateral agreement between China and the European Union (EU) on GI, while nine have been listed in CNIPA's key contact and guidance catalog for utilization and promotion. Hunan has established 31 national and provincial-level GI product protection demonstration zones. A number of dominant industrial clusters have taken shape, such as Hunan tea, porcelain, embroidery, liquor, fireworks, and camellia oil, with the annual output value of GI products approaching 100 billion CNY.
