The Director General of OAPI, Mr. Denis Bohoussou, commented that “The recent registered Geographical Indications … easily demonstrate the dynamics around this instrument for the valorization of local products … it seems important to conduct a reflection to improve the use of Geographical Indications and give more value to quality products from the terroirs of our countries”.
