Beyond The Peppercorn - 2nd Edition October 2026

23/10/2026

𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗖𝗲𝘆𝗹𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗞𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘁: 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗲, 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗲𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗿'𝘀 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲

What does it take for a pepper-producing country to move beyond market access and earn recognition in the world's premium markets? The answer lies not only in the quality of its pepper, but also in the standards, skills, and identity behind it.

On 15 October 2026, the International Pepper Community (IPC) welcomed Mr. Sarada De Silva of the Spice Council of Sri Lanka and the Cinnamon Training Academy to its Secretariat in Jakarta for a constructive exchange on the future of Sri Lanka's pepper industry.

Our discussions explored two promising areas: strengthening workforce competencies through National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) aligned with industry needs, and advancing the potential for Geographical Indication (GI) recognition for Ceylon Pepper. We also considered how Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), and IPC's technical experience could contribute to these efforts.

One particularly valuable opportunity lies in learning from fellow pepper-producing countries. Looking ahead to the 54th IPC Annual Session in Bali, IPC hopes to facilitate an exchange between Sri Lankan stakeholders and the Cambodia Pepper Association, drawing on Cambodia's experience in establishing Kampot Pepper as an internationally recognised geographical indication.

For IPC, such exchanges reflect the value of international commodity cooperation: bringing countries together to share practical experience, strengthen institutional capabilities, and explore opportunities that individual producers may find difficult to pursue alone.

From industry discussions to the factory floor, a visit to Aachi Masala Foods offered IPC delegates a closer look at how spices are processed and prepared for international markets.

On 7 October 2026, as part of the 12th Meeting of the IPC Committee on Marketing, delegates from IPC Member Countries, joined by representatives of India's Spices Board, visited the headquarters of Aachi Masala Foods Ltd. in Chennai.

Warmly welcomed by Mr Ashwin P. Padmasingh, Executive Director of the Aachi Group of Companies, and Mr Adalbert, Vice President of Aachi Masala Foods, the delegation engaged with the company's management through a presentation and discussions on industry developments and opportunities to strengthen connections with pepper-producing countries.

The visit continued at Aachi's export unit in Koladi, where a guided plant tour offered firsthand insights into the company's processing operations, facilities and export activities.

Beyond the exchange of ideas, the visit highlighted the value of bringing producers and industry stakeholders closer together. For IPC, such engagement helps bridge discussions on market development with practical industry perspectives, opening opportunities for stronger collaboration across the global pepper and spice sector.

Knowledge, research, and practical innovation are essential to building a more resilient and sustainable pepper and spice sector.

With this shared perspective, the International Pepper Community (IPC) and Udayana University signed a five-year Memorandum of Understanding on 24 September 2026 at the Udayana University Campus in Jimbaran, Bali.

The IPC delegation, led by Executive Director Ms. Marina Novira Anggraini, was warmly received by Prof. Dr. Eng. Ir. Made Sucipta, S.T., M.T., IPM., Vice Rector for Planning, Cooperation, and Information**, together with the university leadership.

The MoU provides a framework for cooperation in education, research, community engagement, knowledge exchange, capacity building, and other mutually agreed initiatives. It is intended to bring academic expertise closer to the evolving needs of the pepper and spice sector and to encourage collaboration that can translate knowledge into practical value.

Relevant experiences, research outcomes, and approaches emerging from this partnership may also offer useful references for other IPC Member Countries, where appropriate and subject to their respective priorities, concerns, institutional frameworks, and national policies.

Through closer engagement between academia and the international pepper community, this partnership aims to strengthen connections among research, policy, industry, and sustainable sector development, while supporting wider knowledge-sharing and innovation across the pepper and spice value chain.
