Lesotho

Lesotho’s bell pepper and chili activities are seasonal due to high elevation and cool climate, with farmers relying on small greenhouses and sheltered garden production to extend harvests. Most pepper output is for household gardens or local market sales, with community workshops helping to advance seed selection and farming best practices.

Bell peppers are particularly favored, with yields further enhanced by use of compost and protected indoor starts. While commercial output is limited, the crop is important for nutrition, small business, and diversification in Lesotho’s evolving agriculture.
