In 2022, Mithila Makhana received a Geographical Indication (GI) tag — the same class of protection as Darjeeling tea.
A GI tag certifies that a product’s qualities are tied to its region: the ponds, the climate, and the generational skill of Mithila’s harvesting communities.
For farmers, it means recognition and better prices. For you, it is an authenticity mark — and Makhanza sources exclusively from this belt.
