According to the article of China Economic Net, Pakistan has ideal conditions for Chilli/Pepper (Capsicum Annum L.) cultivation. However, Pakistan’s chilli production has been lower than the world average for the same period since 2015. In the next phase of the pilot Chilli farm project, as many as 3000 acres of land would be brought under chilli cultivation. A chilli processing plant will be established in Pakistan within three years to extract chilli pigment and chilli essence, with an industrial output value of $ 200 million.
