Farmers hit by sharp decline in pepper prices

A drastic fall in the price of black pepper and low production owing to climate vagaries are the major concerns of farmers in Kerala and Karnataka, the two major pepper producing States in the country. Black pepper prices have crashed from ₹760 a kg in 2017 to ₹490 a kg and then to ₹290 a kg. The spot price of pepper in Kerala’s Wayanad and Karnataka’s Coorg markets on Wednesday was ₹285 a kg as against ₹390 a kg during the corresponding period last year.
