The Dutch pepper season is set to commence from the 12th week of the year, with the pepper cultivation area remaining largely unchanged from the previous season. There has been a minor increase in the planting of red peppers and a decrease in yellow peppers. The crops are currently in good condition due to stable weather conditions. The first Dutch peppers are expected to be available in week 12, coinciding with the availability of peppers from Spain, thereby meeting the demands of European traders.
