Many people do not know that the Cameroon pepper you buy is Ose Nsukka.

Well, I'm not so sure, but according to the story, some Cameroonian students in the 1980s in UNN took the seeds home and grew.

But because the pepper did'nt grow well outside Nsukka, they resorted
grinding it. This is why there isn't really fresh Cameroon pepper around, but dried ground one.

A 2008 research tested the pepper outside Nsukka and it grew well in Enugu North, West and East.

I just saw a list of millionaire local Nsukka farmers now and I'm shocked.
The Pepper is becoming very popular and they are making a WHOLE LOT of money from this pepper.

The research discovered that since the Ose Nsukka was highly perishable, the preservation industry had to come in.

They tested different methods and the Salting-Blanching-Sundrying
method worked perfectly, retaining its flavour and yellowish traits unlike the half ripe-dried-ground Cameroon pepper.

This Ose Nsukka is highly aromatic and is highly sourced by Pharmaceuticals to produce stimulant and counter irritant balms and Food Manufacturing Industries
to season processed foods.

This is why researchers have been calling on S.E State Govt. to harmonise trade data.

There's so much trade going on under our noses and it's this data that investors need.

It hasn't saturated the local or foreign markets yet.
