Answer : 1. "Gujarat"
Explanation :

Recently, the indigenous date variety of Kutch, Kutchhi Kharek, has received Gujarat's second Geographical Indication (GI) tag. Dating back 400-500 years, palm trees in Kutch probably originated from seeds thrown by residents returning from Hajj in the Middle East. Kutch dates harvested at the bud stage, which are known for their salinity tolerance, begin their season on 15 June. Uniquely, Kutch is the only global center for economically cultivating, marketing and consuming fresh dates, with more than two million palms in cultivation, contributing to 85% of India's total date cultivation.
