Bursa chestnuts, Ipsala rice gain EU geographical indication
“With the EU’s geographical indication registration for Bursa candied chestnut and Ipsala rice, the number of our registered products has risen to 42,” Ibrahim Yumakli said on the Turkish social media platform NSosyal.
He added, “Our geographically indicated products will further enrich the fertile lands of their regions. May it be auspicious,” highlighting the growing international recognition of Türkiye’s unique flavors.
Bursa’s candied chestnuts—made from hillside chestnuts boiled in sugared syrup—are a hallmark of the region’s culinary heritage. Ipsala rice, cultivated in the water-rich plains of Edirne’s Ipsala district, is renowned for its quality and distinctive aroma.
Industry and Technology Minister Mehmet Fatih Kacir also praised the registrations: “Our rice grown in Edirne’s fertile Ipsala Plain and our candied chestnut reflecting Bursa’s master craftsmanship are symbols of a branding journey extending from local to global.”
He added that 13 of Türkiye’s products were registered in the EU in 2025, the highest annual figure in the country’s history, and emphasized continued efforts to document, protect, and promote regional assets under the “Local Development Initiative” vision.
