In 2019, Sharri cheese is made with geographical indicators

The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Rural Development will continue institutional support for the creation of geographical indicators for Sharri's cheese, which is expected to take place over the next year. By the creation of these indicators, cattle products will be promoted even more, and more competitive in the foreign market.
