China Publishes Geographical Indication Products Encyclopedia
The Encyclopedia of Chinese Geographical Indication Products was recently published by China Zhujian Publishing House, a direct affiliate of General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of China (AQSIQ).
The encyclopedia contains more than 1,000 geographical indication products illustrated by 10,000 plus pictures, along with details including geographical environment, cultural background, and brand development of each product.
The encyclopedia is now in Chinese only, but the publisher has entered into a cooperation agreement with Times Publishing Group of Singapore to work on an English version of it. Moreover, there is plan to digitalise contents of the encyclopedia and build a GI product database to facilitate public accessibility.
