Because of their tropical origin, the peppers are cultivated in open
areas, with high temperatures to bring them to full development and
production. They also need humidity, air and light to have better
germination. The peppers don’t support cold and chilling cold
dry fog.
The preparation is based on soil analysis, so as to have an adequate
and economic nutriton of the plants.
Irrigation is made by dropping water in the field, keeping the humidity
uniform during the plant’s development .
The
ripening begins more or less 110 days after planting and can continue
for 2 years. The peppers ripen according to the preferences of the
customers. The sweet pepper ripen immaturely. The ripening process
is generally done by women, who seem to be more productive, since
the fruit cannot be pulled off but broken at the base, a delicate
and precise work done by hand.
In our conditions of cultivation, each plant produces 4.0 kg of
pepper per year. In the case of “in natura” pepper,
storage needs a process of disinfecting before being kept in the
container with the liquid conservative. These containers are bags
of 25 kg. Being small containers, the customer can control the quantity
needed in their daily routine.
