Bell Pepper

India primarily exports two main types of bell peppers (capsicum) to cater to international markets:

1. Green Bell Peppers: Green bell peppers are the most common and widely grown variety of capsicum in India. They are characterized by their vibrant green color and crisp, slightly bitter flavor. Green bell peppers are often used in salads, stir-fries, and various cooked dishes. While they can be exported, green bell peppers are also widely consumed domestically.

2. Colored Bell Peppers: Colored bell peppers include red, yellow, and orange varieties. These bell peppers are essentially matured green bell peppers that have ripened to their respective colors. Red bell peppers have a sweeter, fruity flavor, while yellow and orange bell peppers have a milder, slightly sweet taste. Colored bell peppers are often favored for their vibrant appearance and are used in salads, stuffed dishes, and various culinary applications. They are also exported to international markets.

The choice of bell pepper variety for export depends on market demand, size preferences, and the specific cultivars grown in the region for commercial purposes. India exports bell peppers to various countries, and the demand for colored bell peppers, in particular, has been on the rise due to their vibrant colors and unique flavors.
