National Pepper Shortage

A lot of focus has been on our nation’s economy and its effects on our society. From job losses to home foreclosures, people are grasping for any sign of hope. Luckily one man had a vision and a great campaign marketing team, that ran on hope.

Hope to change a lot of things in our country was offered. But there were also things overlooked. One of these overlooked items is the national shortage of peppers. Peppers are an everyday part of a lot of people’s lives, but not for long. If you haven’t noticed, your local grocery carries less stock and varieties of peppers. Farmers are struggling with their pepper crops and it is going to be a slow recovery.

I talked to some of my pepper suppliers and they are all being hit hard. They do not see hope in the future for peppers.

For the past two weeks, Salso has not been able to complete full production cycles due to the pepper shortage. More info soon, stay tuned.
