ABSTRACT

The two major primary products of Piper nigrum which are internationally traded are black pepper and white pepper. There are several other products which are also internationally traded but in small amounts (less than 2%), such as green pepper, pepper oil and oleoresin. Among the producing countries (Indonesia, India, Malaysia, Brazil, Thailand, Vietnam, China and Sri Lanka) only India and Thailand export the other pepper products but in a very small volume. In 1994, the export of Indonesian pepper products can be seen from the table below.
