CCTV News: Recently, over 400000 acres of Sichuan pepper in Dayao County, Chuxiong Prefecture, Yunnan Province have entered the picking period. This year's Sichuan pepper market is doing well, and pepper farmers have also gained more substantial income.
In Dayao, Yunnan, verdant Sichuan pepper trees cover the mountains and fields, with clusters of round and plump Sichuan peppers hanging on the branches. The pepper farmers are harvesting, transporting, and loading, creating a busy scene.
Due to the early drought and lack of rain, the yield of Sichuan pepper has decreased this year. However, the hot and dry weather has also reduced the pests and diseases of Sichuan pepper, resulting in better quality and significantly higher prices than the same period last year. Fresh Sichuan pepper can be sold for 8 yuan per kilogram, which is about 2 yuan higher than last year.

Li Yanjuan, a villager from Xintian Village, Sanchahe Town: My family planted over 20 acres of Sichuan pepper, and after picking two acres, it sold for over 18000 yuan. I think this industry is very good.
It is understood that the production of Sichuan pepper in Dayao County is expected to reach around 4600 tons this year, with a production value of about 334 million yuan. The picking period will continue until mid August.
