Fruit is the most economically important part of Black Pepper.
The Black Pepper plant thrives in hot and humid tropical climate.
The ideal annual rainfall for the plant is 200 cm while the temperatures range from 10˚C to 40˚C.
The plant grows well in soil rich in humus and well drained with a pH ranging from 5.0 to 6.5.
Black Pepper cultivation requires an annual rainfall of approximately 2000 mm and will require additional irrigation in drier areas.
