This document provides information about exporting capsicum. It begins by introducing capsicum, a genus of plants native to South America that is now cultivated worldwide. It then discusses capsaicin, the compound that gives chili peppers their heat and provides health benefits. Different varieties of capsicum are described, including cayenne pepper, which is considered highly pungent. The document outlines how capsicum is processed into capsicum oleoresin, an extract mainly used for joint health, vascular health, and as an anti-obesity agent. It provides export data on capsicum from India, the largest global producer, and notes that Indian competition will be difficult to match due to low prices. Potential buyers may have quality concerns about Indian

3. Capsicum
Capsicum is a genus of
plants native to South
America and southern North
America. The plants are
now also cultivated in Asia,
Europe and Africa

4. Capsaicin
The fruits of Capsicum chili pepper
varieties have a high content of the
active ingredient capsaicin. This
compound provides the health benefits
of Capsicum. The concentration of
capsaicin can be measured as it
determines the pungency (heat) of the
peppers. It is measured in Scoville
heat units (SHU).

Health Benefits

6. Export Variety
Capsicum fruits with a SHU of 3,000 or
lower are considered non pungent or
mildly pungent. Such fruits are not used
in health products as their content of
capsaicin is too low. Cayenne pepper, a
commonly used chili pepper, contains
between 30,000 and 50,000
SHU. This pepper is considered highly
pungent

7. Which color
capsicum is
best?
05/5Red Capsicum
They are the most mature ones with
bright color and sweet fruity taste. Rich in
carotenoid phytonutrients and vitamin C,
they contain almost eleven times more
beta-carotene than green capsicums. They
are also served best in form of salad or
dish toppings in roasted or grilled form

9. Capsicum oleoresin
The fruits of Capsicum are dried and processed
to create an extract, Capsicum oleoresin.
Capsicum is mainly used for:
Joint health and muscle pain: to reduce
pain from inflammation/sore muscles
Vascular health: maintenance of a
healthy circulation
Anti-obesity

10. India accountsfor half of the estimated
global Capsicum oleoresin production.
Therefore, companies from this country
will be your main source of competition.
India’s oleoresin and extraction industry
is well developed. They can offer
productsat a low price, which will be
difficult for you to match.
Buyers have concerns about the quality
and reliability of Indian Capsicum,
especiallyin terms of pesticide residues
and solvent residues (in oleoresins).
