Black Pepper Madagascar and Sri Lanka
(Piper Nigrum)
These two countries offer a small-size variety of black pepper, suitable for grinding, after which it is possible to get a quite dark powder. Imports from these area, usually very small, are usually made by small dealers, who want to buy cinnamon sticks from Sri Lanka and cloves from Madagascar; since there are not goods enough to load a container “single product” they are forced to buy a little black pepper to complete the shipment.
In general Black pepper from Sri Lanka and Madagascar is of little value and interest on the Italian market.
