Belgium

Belgium has a mature and stable chili pepper market, with production centered on greenhouse-grown sweet, hot, and specialty peppers as well as considerable imports from the Netherlands, Spain, and France. Belgian farmers are increasingly adopting advanced seeds, pest resistance, and organic practices, while consumer interest in gourmet and spicy foods drives both domestic demand and expansion.

Imports and urban gardening complement local production, and Belgium’s market is concentrated and well-integrated in European trade.
