This work seeks to present indicators of Brazilian goods and services protected by Geographical Indication (GI) in each Brazilian region that serve to assist in studies on Geographical Indications and territorial development. Using documentary research and based on bibliographical inquiry, the following pieces of information were described here: the number of national Geographical Indications granted up to June 26, 2022, the number of GI-protected goods, and the type and class to which each one of them belongs. The study showed that of the GI-registered goods and services in Brazil, 76% are agrifood, subdivided into 15 classes, while the remaining 24% are non-agrifood, subdivided into seven classes. Most agrifood goods are coffees, fruits, wines, and bee products, while the non-agrifood type is primarily made up of handicrafts.
