Telangana's Balanagar Custard Apple Seeks GI Tag

Telangana's Balanagar Custard Apple Seeks GI Tag

Imagine a special type of fruit called the Balanagar custard apple, grown in Telangana.

Farmers want to give it a special 'stamp' called a GI tag to show it's unique.

They worked with experts to prove it's different and better than other custard apples.

This tag will help protect the fruit, make people know it's special, and let farmers sell it in more places, even outside of India!

This is like giving the fruit a special name and protecting it.
