In 2007, three different marketing channels existed for farmers.
The first consists of private agribusiness firms that deal with sweet
pepper for export and for domestic supermarkets. Beyond the
Dutch company, which had started the business in 1999, two additional
firms have entered the market more recently. All three companies
purchase sweet pepper from local farmers. The second
marketing channel is the so-called Royal Project, which started to
deal with sweet pepper in 2002.
