Nabel Peppers Harvest and Traditions
The red pepper harvesting season in the town of Manzel Har in Nabeul Governorate has been ongoing since mid-July. The process involves forming pepper necklaces and drying them over wood fires, a traditional custom passed down through families and still part of the region's agricultural heritage. Despite the high quality of the product and increasing demand, farmers face significant challenges, including a shortage of labor, the spread of plant diseases, weather-related impacts such as Shihili winds, and a lack of effective agricultural medicines. Farmers are calling for government support to save the pepper industry and preserve this heritage, despite a declining workforce and the difficulty of continuing this traditional craft, where the necklaces are dried under the sun or over fire before marketing.
