Yangjiabo Prawns

Yangjiabo Prawns is a geographical indication certification trademark.

　　   After rigorous review by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, the geographical indication certification trademark for "Yangjiabo" prawns from Hangu was recently officially approved. This is the second geographical indication certification trademark obtained by Hangu, following the "Chadie" grapes.

　　   According to reports, a geographical indication has gradually evolved from the concept of an "appellation of origin" and is widely used internationally in many fields such as agricultural and sideline specialty products, traditional industrial products, and handicrafts. According to the Trademark Law, a geographical indication refers to a sign indicating that a product originates from a specific region, and that the product’s particular quality, reputation, or other characteristics are essentially attributable to the natural or human factors of that region.

　　   Yangjiabo is a historic and well-known aquatic town. Its “Thousand-Mu Prawn Farming Base” has been certified as a national pollution-free farming base, and its aquatic products have obtained pollution-free product certification. The base also makes full use of abundant geothermal resources for off-season farming, setting a national record of 1,030 kilograms per mu in prawn yield. The successful registration of this trademark will greatly promote the development of Hangu’s characteristic agriculture, tourism, and industrial diversification, directly boosting employment opportunities and increasing farmers’ income.
