Geographically indicated products play a critical role in the protection of local cultural heritage, as well as making significant contributions to regional economic development, acting as an effective tool in the promotion of destinations, creating a touristic attraction and ensuring the protection of the rights of both producers and consumers. The main purpose of this study is to determine the international level of geographically indicated products in the European Union and to evaluate Turkey's current situation in this regard. For this purpose, the data obtained from the eAmbrosia database was analyzed using the content analysis method. Geographically indicated products were classified and explained according to countries, product groups and types of geographical indications, and similarly, the current situation in Turkey was presented. As a result of the research, it was determined that a total of 3909 applications have been made to the EU to date, 91% of which were made by EU member states, the country that made the most applications was Italy, 48% of the total applications were food, 44% were wine, 8% were alcoholic beverages, Turkey had a total of 85 applications and 23 products with registered geographical indications, and Turkey constituted 2% of the total geographical applications.
