Pepper (Capsicum)is one of the most varied and widely used foods in the world. From the various colors to the various tastes, peppers are an important spice commodity and an integral part of many cuisines.
Pepper production has increased in recent years worldwide. That could be at least in part because of the high nutritional value of pepper. |

Successful pepper production is not easily achieved. Expertise in the areas of cultural practices, soils and fertility management, pest control, harvesting, post-harvest handling, marketing, and farm record keeping is crucial to profitable production.
GFE Global chose Peppers to intercrop with Jatropha in our Costa Rica project, because of its value in the world marketplace and Costa Rica being optimal conditions. Considerations including soil, irrigation, weather, labor, social and political structure, and regulations were carefully assessed prior to selecting Peppers for our sustainable farming solution in Costa Rica. |
