The Sicilian Red Orange has been registered as an international trademark to combat scams and counterfeits. This is to protect the fruit from deceptive products in non-European countries, as Italian agri-food products have seen growing exports. The Consortium for the Protection of Red Orange of Sicily PGI has taken this step to defend the turnover and image of the original product. The trademark will now be protected in Canada, Japan, Norway, the United States, and Russia.
