At present, the local fresh chillis lack supply. It fetches K1,400-2,000 per viss.

Fresh chilli pepper was offered at K10,000 per five visses (a viss equals 1.6 kg) in the Myawady border, said Daw Ohnmar Kyaw, chair of the Myanmar Chilli Market and Technology Development Association.
“The price of chilli is worth K10,000 per five visses, including the transport and other processing costs,” she added.
At present, the local fresh chillis lack supply. It fetches K1,400-2,000 per viss.
“The price is quite good on the low stockpile. The fresh chilli pepper supply has become smaller in Myanmar. It is harvest time in Thailand for now. As a result of this, the price is possible to decrease during the plentiful harvest time in Thailand,” Daw Ohnmar Kyaw continued.
Myanmar’s chilli pepper is primarily conveyed to Thailand and China. Nonetheless, the closure of the major border Muse post between Myanmar and China from 8 July brought Myanmar’s fresh chilli pepper export to China to a halt. Consequently, the chilli pepper produced by the Kyaukse area, which was supposed to be conveyed to China, was shifted to Thailand through the Myawady border.
It is commonly grown in Ayeyawady, Mandalay and Magway regions and Shan State. The export varieties of fresh chilli peppers are 692, 777, 999, Demon, Sunshine, Lucky one and Tharmo. — NN/GNLM
