Infographic on the importance of trade – Black Pepper

This infographic highlights the trends and challenges in the global black pepper trade. Europe’s love for pepper – from seasoning your favourite dishes to spicing up gourmet meals – relies entirely on imports from producing countries around the world.

Recent events, like the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine, have shown just how fragile supply chains can be. Keeping them open, transparent, and resilient is essential to avoid future disruptions.

With climate change, food insecurity, and distribution challenges adding further pressure, safeguarding global pepper supply chains has never been more urgent.
