Currently, localities with large pepper cultivation areas have registered to implement 9 large-scaled field projects which link production with consumption of pepper. Some of large-scaled field projects have proved effectiveness and attract the participation of a lot of farmers and businesses. Particularly, pepper farmers who received GlobalGap certificates and are growing pepper under safe standards are purchased pepper with prices higher than common markets.
