Organic Peppers, Chili

Commodity Overview

Organic chili peppers, or specialty peppers, accounted for a very small percentage of organic produce sales, and organic makes up well under 1% of category sales. However, they are a great way to round out your organic pepper category and appeal to discerning cooks who are willing to pay a bit more for their produce.

Sales Strategies

Promote the health benefits of chili peppers and remind consumers that organic chili peppers are an environmentally conscious choice.

Include organic chili peppers in promotions with organic salsa ingredients. Create a taco promotion that includes all organic options for the ingredients. This is a promotion that will work well around Cinco de Mayo.

Don’t forget to include organic chili peppers in football game day marketing strategies. They are a great way to spice up homemade dips.

Include organic chili peppers in summertime grilling promotions along with recipes for meat marinades that include chili peppers. Cross-promote them with organic meat.

Dynamic Displays

A variety of chili peppers are available as organic, so offer a variety of options, including jalapeno, Anaheim, padron, poblano and serrano peppers. Display them in their own area near organic bell peppers to create a larger organic pepper display.

Consider offering both bagged and bulk product to appeal to consumers who are on the go as well as those who want to choose their own.
