Anzer Honey received geographical indication registration certificate

A geographical indication certificate was given to the “Anzer Honey” produced in the Anzer Plateau, located between 2300 and 3000 altitudes, in the Ikizdere district of Rize.

According to the statement made by the Governorship of Rize, Anzer honey, which is produced in the Anzer Plateau of Ikizdere district and included in the records of the Ottoman period, was registered by the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office as a result of the initiatives of the Provincial Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry and received a geographical indication certificate.

Governor Kemal Ceber, whose views were given in the statement, stated that geographically indicated products provide many advantages in terms of branding in agricultural production, promotion, and increasing the value of advertised products.

Stating that they attach great importance to Anzer honey being placed next to other products with geographical indication registration, Ceber said, “Thanks to the geographical indication registration, both our producers will win and our consumers will meet with the right product. Therefore, I attach great importance to the geographical indication registration studies carried out in our city.”

Stating that Rize is a special province with many unique features, Ceber said:

“As a result of this, there is a variety of products together with the natural diversity. There were 6 geographically indicated products in our city. Currently, 7 more of our products have applied to the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office and are in the examination phase. With the registration of these products, our products that promote our region, produced in our province, will gain even more value. Our efforts continue to increase the number of geographically indicated products in our city. Thanks to these studies, we aim to increase the value of our products by contributing to the promotion of our city. “
