OUR HOT PEPPER SELECTION
Big Sun Végétarien
Safi Marconi
Antillais 14.5 F1 Nobili
Avenir    

Hot pepper prefers light soils, well irrigated and rich in organic and fertilizing matter. Our African type of hot pepper is particularly strong, spicy and suitable for long distance transport as well. So in high demand by African consumers. However, European soft and light peppers are also available.


Big Sun African Variety

Also selected for export, this variety produces beautiful globular fruits of a nice gold yellow colour. Its fruit weighing 17 to 18 g is very pungent and spicy. Its permanent production enables producers to have regular and constant quality fruit supply.


Avenir African Variety
This variety was especially selected for productions meant for large-scale and high-quality export. Bulky and robust plant with a width ranging from 60 to 70 cm and 90 to 120 cm in height. With its elongated blocky shape, wrinkled flesh and an average weight of 22 g, light green when fresh and sharp red when mature, this pepper is pungent and very harmonic with fruits of 5 to 8 cm. Its earliness is 90 days between its planting out and the first harvest with an output of 15 with 20 t/ha.

Safi African Variety  
Selected from the local ecotypes of sub-Saharan Africa, Safi seems to adapt itself to the farming and market conditions of the area with a regular production of red fruits very pungent of round-square shape, weighing 8g on average.

Antillais 14.5 African Variety  

Mainly meant to local markets of sub-Saharan Africa, Antillais 14.5 has a red, lengthened and sharp fruit of a very pungent savour. Its aroma, specific to chinense, is higher than the traditional local varieties.



F1 Sunny European Variety  


Its very good post-harvest conservation turns it to be a variety particularly used by hot pepper producers exporters, red in maturity, long and thin for Europe. Sunny F1 can also be dried for an industrial use. The high and ventilated plant is tolerant to Anthracnose of fruits.
