The government of Brazil’s Espírito Santo state said it would invest 1 million reais to support the local black pepper production chain. The funds will support technical assistance, technology transfer and the adoption of sustainable cultivation methods to improve yields and product quality. The state currently accounts for about 59% of Brazil’s total pepper production.

The project is expected to run for three years and benefit 1,000 agricultural production units across 29 areas. Its goals include raising average yields at participating units by 15% to 20% and encouraging at least 30% of them to adopt product traceability systems. The project will also improve harvesting, drying and processing to meet international market requirements for hygiene, safety and traceability.
