Share

Indecopi reported that Tacna Oregano joins the other ten denominations of origin from Peru.

Indecopi, through the Directorate of Distinctive Signs, issued the registration certificate for the designation of origin Tacna Oregano, which recognizes this product for its exceptional characteristics, thus promoting its recognition and commercialization at the national and international levels.

“Today, Tacna Oregano becomes the eleventh denomination of origin in the country, with great pride for all Peruvians. Congratulations to Tacna and our recognition to the producer associations, public institutions, and agro-export companies that have managed this designation before Indecopi”, highlighted by executive president Karin Cáceres Durango.

With this, she added, it contributes to the economic reactivation of this southern region by highlighting the articulated work done to achieve this new designation of origin for Tacna.

It is estimated that more than 2,500 producers of Tacna Oregano will benefit economically from this designation of origin, as they can use it to differentiate themselves from similar products in the market and attract consumer preference.

The registration certificate for the designation of origin was delivered to the association called the Regulatory Council of the Denomination of Origin Tacna Oregano, which requested the protection declaration for this product on March 29, 2023, after several months of previous work.

In this way, Tacna Oregano joins the other ten denominations of origin that Peru has: Pisco, Chulucanas, Giant White Corn Cusco, Ica Bean, Villa Rica Coffee, Loche Lambayeque, Machu Picchu-Huadquiña Coffee, Junín-Pasco Maca, Peruvian Amazon Cocoa, and Tacna Olive.
