Along with the development of science and information technology, natural and organic production forms have gradually been accepted by farmers and have initially shown positive signs.
Applying technical advances in developing organic agriculture and circular economy on pepper with the main solution being input control and strict compliance with production processes to reduce production costs. Thoroughly promote the advantages of natural agrochemical soil conditions that are already very suitable for pepper growing, plus the rich tradition and experience in pepper production of farmers.
Good production habits are gradually formed such as concentrated pepper production by region, making the most of available organic fertilizer sources, thoroughly applying the principle of "returning to the land", protecting natural enemies, preserving natural fertilizers biodiversity, and protecting natural ecosystems.
