Protected Designation of Origin
According to the market economy conditions the law of supply and demand is also effective here. High harvest usually produces a lower purchase prices and again in subsequent years, lower sowing. In spite of these market interventions there is still high quality standard of our caraway varieties. In 2002, Industrial Property Office (EPO) granted to caraway "Certificate of registration of the designation of origin Czech caraway" under document number 193.
In 2004 the association applied for designation of origin Czech caraway within the EU. After four years of effort, the association has managed to justify this request. Since this year / 2008/ a commodity Czech caraway has been a holder of a protected designation of origin within the EU.
