Data Sources and Methodology

OT Team, Registry Editor

Source hierarchy

Tier 1 — Authoritative sources (define truth)

EU eAmbrosia register and EU Official Journal publications. These are the primary legal sources for all EU-PDO and EU-PGI registration data. Registration dates, registration numbers, and certification status are taken from these sources only.

Tier 2 — Validation sources (confirm context)

TÜRKPATENT public records, Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry publications, and producer association documents. Used to confirm domestic registration numbers, applicant institutions, and production zone descriptions.

Tier 3 — Signal sources (identify potential updates)

Trade press, chamber of commerce announcements, and LinkedIn publications. Used to identify potential new registrations or pipeline stage movements. Not used as a source for any data published on this platform without Tier 1 or Tier 2 confirmation.

Update schedule

What we do not claim

Origin Türkiye does not certify products or production methods. This platform does not replace TÜRKPATENT certification or EU PDO compliance audits. It does not replace food safety inspections or official trade documentation.

The register reports certification status as recorded in official EU and Turkish sources. Buyers are advised to conduct independent due diligence before commercial transactions.
