Madhya Pradesh wins GI tag for black chicken
Madhya Pradesh has been awarded the Geographical Indication (GI) tag for Kadaknath chicken, a black-coloured variety bred in the state's Jhabua district. MP filed the GI application in 2012 and Chhattisgarh filed its claim last year. While MP had set up the first poultry farm for rearing the variety in 1978, Chhattisgarh's annual production of Kadaknath chicken exceeds MP's production.
