Hot Pepper

–

The Caribbean has always been a player in the international hot pepper industry and has been exporting fresh pepper and hot pepper sauces to the traditional markets of the UK, USA and Canada. In 2002, the Caribbean Export Development Agency, CPEC, CARDI and the CARICOM Secretariat agreed to coordinate their resources to provide development support for the industry. The support centred on the preparation of a comprehensive industry report, the execution of market research in USA, Canada, UK, Costa Rica and Mexico and in the hosting of a strategic planning workshop.
