Hot Pepper

Hot peppers are a globally diverse product, coming in different types and sizes, different regions have different tastes and colors, and different ways to eat them. In order to meet the needs of people everywhere, Rijk Zwaan continues to introduce more varieties of pepper into the market, while constantly researching and developing more special types of hot pepper.

Hot pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is a common condiment that can be used not only as an appetizer, but also to add extra flavour to dishes, especially in Chinese hot pot. Pepper nutritional value is very high, contains vitamin B, vitamin C, protein, carotene, iron, phosphorus, calcium and other components, especially the high content of vitamin C. Top of the list of vegetables, 105mg of vitamin C per 100g pepper.

Rijk Zwaan is increasingly involved in the Asian market and has been developing a range of new types of hot pepper to meet the needs of Asian market. The development of the so-called "Bull horn" type of hot pepper variety, which is suitable for over-winter cultivation in protected areas, has completely changed the situation of no hot pepper in winter in the Chinese market. At the same time, in order to meet the needs of customers in northeast and northwest China, we have respectively developed the type of Mala pepper -- Mala Star (37-92) and the type of Longjiao --37-94 and other varieties, with its good performance by the market welcome. These Asian varieties have also found their own markets in other regions as special products.

The expanding range in Asian types will also find their way into other areas as specialty product. Apart from excellent fruit quality characteristics, the varieties for winter cultivation are also selected for their stability in that quality, cold tolerance and excellent recovery through winter.

Sichuan residents are particularly fond of eating hot peppers, which can be found in almost every dish. In 2008, as a dealer, I began to cooperate with Rijk Zwaan to introduce 37-74 RZ hot pepper into Sichuan Province. Due to its good cold resistance, high yield and simple cultivation and management, this variety was quickly promoted successfully among growers and became the main local variety, with an income of about 30,000 yuan per Mu. After 15 years of development, now we has successfully introduced more than 10 types of hot pepper varieties in Sichuan, such as line pepper, Longjiao pepper, Pao peppers, conical pepper, etc., these varieties in the local performance outstanding, the market evaluation is very good, make tens of thousands of growers out of poverty to get rich, favourable to promote the development of the local vegetable industry.

In addition to the unique spicy taste of traditional Chinese products, 37-94 RZ longjiao pepper product is more prominent in its cold resistance, it can still blossom and set fruit at a temperature of about 10 ℃ in the greenhouse. High yield, about 15.000kg per mu, is 2-3 times of traditional hot pepper in China. At present, the market price of 37-94RZ is 50% higher than that of traditional hot pepper. I believe that planting Longjiao will bring you great profits
