Black Pepper

Black Pepper

Black pepper is grown in Assam, mainly in hilly and plantation areas, and is often cultivated as an intercrop with arecanut and other plantation crops.

Black pepper, known as the “King of Spices,” is cultivated in Assam’s favourable tropical climate and plantation systems. The crop provides additional income for farmers when grown as an intercrop with plantation crops.Fiscal incentives, such as financial support for plantation development and spice processing units, can encourage the expansion of cultivation and value addition. Non-fiscal support, including extension services, quality certification, research support, and improved marketing infrastructure, can strengthen Assam’s participation in the global pepper market.
