The first consignment of GI tagged sweet dish Mihidana, sourced from Bardhaman in West Bengal, has been exported to the Kingdom of Bahrain. This is part of the government’s effort to promote indigenous and geographical identification (GI) tagged products.
The unique sweet dish, Mihidana was exported to Bahrain by APEDA registered M/S DM Enterprises, Kolkata and imported by Aljazira Group, Bahrain. Described as the micro-cousin of the traditional boondi, the sweet dish’s name is derived from two words – mihi meaning fine and dana, meaning grain.
