Pepper board eyes overseas markets


Spicy export: Sarawak pepper is now mainly exported in bulk and in the raw form of pepper berries.

KUCHING: The Malaysian Pepper Board is targeting to generate sales revenue of RM10mil a year in value-added pepper products, which are currently being rebranded.

The board’s director-general Stanley Liew (pic) is optimistic that the targeted sales could be achieved in five years as the board has planned for an aggressive campaign to not only boost sales in domestic markets but push a wide range of products in export markets.
