As a result of the examinations by the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office, "Karapınar Kavurga" (a traditional roasted snack) has earned the right to be a geographically indicated product.
Mustafa Kemal Sözen, the President of the Karapınar Chamber of Commerce and Industry, stated that by adding "Karapınar Kavurga" to the list, the number of Geographically Indicated Products has increased, following “Karapınar Tül”, which was the first geographically indicated product of Karapınar.
Sözen said, "With Karapınar Kavurga, which we have successfully added as the second product to our district's registration list, we believe that we will also contribute to rural development. Of course, our main goal is to protect our local values and contribute to both the economy of our district and our country. “Karapınar Kavurga” has been a traditional snack in our region for many years and is a familiar taste. However, obtaining this snack involves a somewhat labor-intensive process."
