Exporting preserved chillies to Europe

The European market accounts for a large portion of the global demand for pickled chillies. Europe’s cold climate meant vegetables needed to be pickled so seasonal vegetables could be eaten throughout the year, and this practice remains relevant today. Preserved chillies can be more convenient than fresh produce and are a versatile ingredient. They can be used in a number of ways to enhance flavour and add spice to dishes. Opportunities for suppliers from developing countries can be found in large markets such as Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Poland and France.
