Cha-uat Pepper Association Present and Future

As keen small farm owners we started our agriculture (farming) decades ago through trial and error, in depth research and techniques from our ancestors as well as help from our King. King Phumiphon, we managed to perfect agriculture to the highest standard. We are now proud to announce that we have joined the Asean group, and managed to reach the top of the log; we are still in our initial stages and will only produce locally to perfect our skills more. Soon we will produces and export abroad as our plantations are new and young, we will then be capable as we have the volume.

With research it was found that the most productive pepper corn was the "Ceylon" type as it is longer and more in volume. It is also of a higher quality as it has adapted well in South Thailand soil and weather condition through the years. We have also perfected it’s pillar using the Noni fruit tree which in turn serves a multipurpose. The "Ceylon" pepper tree stem roots clutches very easily to the bark of the Noni tree in turn benefiting by feeding on vital vitamins from the Noni tree without affecting its growth and fruit. The Noni tree also provides shadow to the pepper tree.

The "Ceylon" pepper tree has a very small root system. Its stem grows up to 20mm in diameter in 10 years, thus it could be planted anywhere without affecting any growth around it. It also reaches the height of up to 5m and is a low maintenance tree. Our methods are simple as we strive to serve our customers with a high quality product at a lowest cost. The aim is also to make our customers aware of our existence well in advance so they can do research on us to proof our potential before trading.

Pepper trees could be planted 1m apart in all directions. No new field is required as it can be planted with and or against other trees which can surf as pillars without affecting any growth, or itself. Black pepper is native to south India, and is extensively cultivated there and elsewhere in tropical regions. Currently Vietnam is the world's largest producer and exporter of pepper, producing 34% of the world's Piper nigrum crop as of 2008. Dried ground pepper has been used since antiquity for both its flavor and as a medicine. Black pepper is the world's most traded spice. It is one of the most common spices added to European cuisine and its descendants. The spiciness of black pepper is due to the chemical piperine, not to be confused with the capsaicin that gives fleshy peppers theirs. It is ubiquitous in the modern world as a seasoning, and is often paired with salt.

Other major producers: India (19%), Brazil (13%), Indonesia (9%), Malaysia (8%), Sri Lanka (6%), China (6%), and Thailand (4%).
