Earlier on 7 June 2017, an application was submitted by the deputy commissioner of Bagerhat for the registration of Sundarbans' honey as a GI product.
The DPDT requested additional information from the applicant while examining the application. The Bangladesh Standards and Testing Institution (BSTI) prepared a test report on the nutritional quality of the honey and submitted it to DPDT.
