Pepper cultivation was first introduced to Brazil in the 17th century in the Bahia region. From the 1930's onwards,

pepper was grown more intensely and exported to Europe and North America. Nowadays the three principal states where it is harvested are Para, Bahia and Espirito Santo. It is harvested from July until October.
