Jamaica

Jamaica is world famous for its fiery scotch bonnet peppers, pivotal to local cuisine and global export of jerk seasonings and sauces. Jamaican pepper farming is spread across family and cooperative farms in St. Elizabeth, Manchester, and Clarendon, with strong market linkages to Europe, North America, and the Caribbean.

 Technical training, varietal preservation, and seed access programs underpin improved production and climate resilience, ensuring scotch bonnet’s continued status as a premium export crop.
