The GI tag for "Kala Jeera Rice" from Koraput, Odisha, was applied for by a private company called Jaivik Shree Farmers Producers Company. Concerns have been voiced by the M S Swaminathan Research Foundation (MSSRF) in Jeypore, Odisha, regarding the possibility of local farmers being left out of its benefits. For the farming community to receive the full benefits of GI tags, MSSRF argued that only government organizations should apply.
