VDI guidelines

VDI (Verified Designation of Origin) guidelines establish standards to ensure products, often agricultural or food items, genuinely originate from specific regions and meet quality criteria. These guidelines protect regional reputation, maintain authenticity, and prevent false claims. They specify origin boundaries, production methods, and quality requirements. By following VDI, producers verify that their goods truly come from designated areas, helping consumers trust product authenticity and supporting regional economies. Essentially, VDI acts as a certification of origin and quality for regional products.
