[0] PAPRIKA [1] FIRM [2] 
In India sowing of the Paprika crop was delayed because the monsoon rains were late this year. The area under cultivation of the low heat KDL variety has been reduced in favour of higher yielding the medium heat Guntur variety. Although there seems sufficient stocks in cold stores to satisfy demand until the crop is harvested early in 2012, the market has firmed in sentiment. In China the new crop which has just started to be harvested, is reported to be 15 to 20% higher than last year.
