Preserving

Leading towards
excellency

11. Preserving traditions
Follow traditional agricultural practices
Our head farmer, grandson of Chinese
pepper planter who immigrated in the late
19th century, has over 50 years experience
growing Kampot Pepper. All our farming
processes respect century-old traditions
to preserve the taste of the best pepper
in the world.
Promote the Kampot Pepper GI and fight
against counterfeit production
We collaborate with the Kampot Pepper
Promotion Association to improve traceability
and cut fake Kampot Pepper at the source.
We train our distributors and importers on
how to recognize original Kampot Pepper.
Support communities who grow the best
quality spices around the world
When spices are grown artisanally, they exude
explosive flavors and aroma. We find the
producers behind the best quality spices
available and market them
to a global audience.
Preserve Cambodian cultural heritage
As wooden houses are being replaced by
concrete buildings in remote areas, we fight
against the destruction of traditionnal Khmer
architecture. We buy houses that are about
to be destroyed and rebuild them on our
property where visitors can witness the rural
way-of-life.

12. Embracing Innovation
Create new products
to cater to all palates
Fresh Green Kampot Pepper is
a short-life cycle jewel you can
only eat in the region. So we
created a new way to
preserve it through a complex
salt fermentation process. The
exclusive Salted Kampot
Pepper from La Plantation has
already won award and is used
daily by gourmets and
Michelin-starred chefs.
La Plantation is launching new
products and blends every
year.
Reinvent the spices
supply chain
The journey from the tree to
the plate relies on many
intermediaries, compromising
the quality of spices
along the way.
We work with international
importers and distributors
who share our engagement to
fair trade principles. Together
we commit to providing the
freshest spices at a fair price.
Work with technology to
guarantee food safety
Food safety and hygiene are
our priorities. We work in
satinitized environments with
trained workers. We can
process in-house sterilization
solutions on request. Products
are tested by international
labs before shipping.

13. Building Futures
Community
We embrace Fair Trade principles with all our
partners. We offer good working conditions to
our employees: benefits, training
opportunities, social security, meals and
accomodation when needed...
We help small scale farmers to improve
their living conditions.
Education
Les Ecoles de la Plantation is financing
education programs for the community living
near the farm. We support children in rural
areas, giving them access to quality
education, and the chance to study
up to university.
Agriculture
We follow Sustainable Agriculture practices
such as organic production, the use of natural
intrents, permaculture, crop rotation. We plant
trees around the plantation to develop the
local biodiveristy and protect
our natural environment
Environment
Preserving our environment is vital to ensure
the supply of quality spices on the long run.
We are cautious of our waste and run
programs to increase biodiversity and

us the chance to cover part of our needs with
clean affordable energy.
