The global bell pepper market had been marked by weather challenges earlier in the season, causing lower availability and higher prices, particularly in European countries. In Germany, the supply of bell peppers has now increased again, mainly from Spain, Turkey, and the Benelux countries, resulting in falling prices. In Italy, despite the low profitability of bell pepper and the reduction of the areas for the 2022/23 season, the prices of peppers continue to be attractive and are in the range of 2.00 to 2.50 €/kg. In Spain, the pepper season is in its last stages in Almeria with lower volumes compared to the same period of last year and high prices.
