Day 14:
Kente: A Cloth of History, Identity and Pride. How can we feature special things about Ghana and leave out Kente? Few textiles in the world carry the cultural weight of Kente.
Originating in Ghana, Kente is traditionally woven on narrow looms and assembled into vibrant cloths whose colours and patterns convey proverbs, history and values.
Two major traditions shape this remarkable textile:
Ashanti (Asante) Kente
Woven mainly in towns such as Bonwire and Adanwomase, Ashanti Kente is historically associated with royalty and ceremonial authority. The bold colours and patterns often communicate themes of leadership, unity, wealth and dignity.
Ewe Kente
Woven in the Volta Region, Ewe Kente is renowned for its intricate geometric designs and storytelling motifs. Ewe weavers often incorporate complex patterns that reflect proverbs, historical events and everyday life.
For generations, Kente has been worn at moments of celebration, leadership and cultural identity.
Today, Ghana has taken an important step to protect this heritage by registering Kente as a Geographical Indication (GI)—recognising it as a product whose authenticity and cultural origin are uniquely Ghanaian. Fun fact- my beloved roomie and sister Loretta Asiedu worked tirelessly through @wipo to make this happen. ❤️
Kente is not just cloth.
It is history, philosophy and craftsmanship woven together.

📢 बड़ी उपलब्धि! बिहार देश में अव्वल 🏆
बिहार कृषि विश्वविद्यालय, सबौर (बीएयू) के प्रयासों से भौगोलिक संकेत (GI) अधिकृत उपयोगकर्ताओं के मामले में बिहार ने महाराष्ट्र को पीछे छोड़ देश में पहला स्थान हासिल किया है।
🔢 कुल 2,059 GI उपयोगकर्ताओं में से 1,710 उपयोगकर्ता (लगभग 83%) बीएयू द्वारा प्रोत्साहित उत्पादों से जुड़े हैं।
🥇 1,001 उपयोगकर्ताओं के साथ मगही पान पहले स्थान पर, इसके बाद कतरनी चावल, मखाना, भागलपुर सिल्क, जर्दालू आम, मधुबनी पेंटिंग सहित कई पारंपरिक उत्पाद शामिल।
माननीय कुलपति डॉ डी आर सिंह के नेतृत्व में अब फोकस गुणवत्ता, ब्रांडिंग और निर्यात विस्तार पर है, ताकि किसानों व कारीगरों की आय बढ़ सके।
यह उपलब्धि पूरे बिहार के लिए गर्व की बात है।
