The European Union has granted protected designation of origin (PDO) status to two Croatian products: "Banski chestnut honey" and "Čepinsko cabbage" (Čepinski kupus in Croatian). This brings the total number of Croatian products with EU protection to 54, according to the Croatian Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, as reported by regional TV channel EN1.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Agriculture David Vlačić stated that this recognition results from the efforts of local farmers and beekeepers and traditions preserved over generations. He added that Slavonian ham is expected to be added to the list soon.
