Geographical Indications and the Right to Equitable Economic Benefits: A Critical Legal Study of Farmers and Artisans in Punjab

Author(s) Mr. Paranpreet Singh, Prof. Dr. Navneet Kaur Chahal
Country India
Abstract Geographical indications (GIs) are a category of products that are associated with a specificgeographical origin, distinction or special features, through which consumers are informed of theirgeographical origin, and which have ceased to be produced or not produced in that area. But theassurance of GI does not guarantee to the farmers and artisans producing these products that theybenefit fairly economically. This paper highlights this dimension with reference to the cultivationof Basmati and embroidery of Phulkari in Punjab. It explores the legal framework in India to gaininsights into the role of GI protection to producers and its shortcomings. The paper contends thatGI law may help to prevent unfair uses of geographical names but has no power to ensure fairlypriced markets and living incomes or sharing of profits. It also explores the prospects andchallenges of farmers and artisans achieving better access to markets and improved returns ontheir work, as well as accessing decision making and development processes. Study materialcomprises provisions of law, records and literature. It recommends the strengthening of producerorganisations, transparency in trading, easier and better registration and effective enforcement ofGI protection. They can contribute to linking up the economic benefit of GIs and the livelihoodsof the producers industries to them.
