India will host the 43rd annual session of International Pepper Community (IPC), an inter-governmental organisation for the promotion of pepper production and trade, currently chaired by Spices Board Chairman A Jayathilak. The high-profile convention will be held at Mysuru (Karnataka) from November 22 to 25.
The IPC was established by United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) in 1972 with its Secretariat at Jakarta to promote, co-ordinate and harmonise all activities relating to the pepper economy.
India currently holds the chair of IPC, which rotates among its full-time members every year.
Around 300 delegates are expected to participate in the four-day event, which will deliberate on the recent advancements in pepper cultivation, processing, marketing, quality and research, among other things, Jayathilak said.
