Mongolia is characterized by relatively homogeneous though rather unique Geographical features, whose specific qualities contribute to distinctiveness in a number of its traditional products. Among these is Gobi Desert Camel Wool, a special product with origins and qualities that are tightly linked to the Gobi area and to its traditions. Though famed for millennia, it is one of the world’s more recent Geographical Indications (GIs), gaining legal recognition in 2007. If its specific qualities are recognized via a GI, this currently undervalued origin could essentially become an important Mongolian export product.
