Spain: Slight increase anticipated for acreage bell peppers
The color distribution of the block peppers is as follows:
- Almeria: 75% red and 25% yellow
- Murcia: 80% red and 20% yellow
At present, the production of peppers in Spain only comes from Murcia. The production of yellow peppers began in early April and the production of red peppers in mid-April.
Pricing was good, as lower production volumes were realized in Almeria because of the cold winter and the early end of the season. "We expect a small increase in acreage (3-5%) in bell peppers for Almeria and Murcia next season. In Murcia, growth will be mainly in yellow, as there is now a shortage of yellow peppers," the team from Syngenta states.
