November-December/2024-oriGIn-CIRAD: Series of webinars on controls with a view on building a GI on Ceylon Tea.

With the support of CIRAD – oriGIn is helping the “Ceylon tea” GI stakeholders in Sri Lanka (tea producers and exporters as well as local authorities) elaborate a strategy to carry controls in the markets where the product is exported as well as online. This activity has the objective to allow “Ceylon tea” GI stakeholders to better fight infringements and counterfeiting. In this framework, a series of webinars is being organized with the participation of several experts of our global network.
