Organic Farming in Tunisia: pepper (Capsicum annuum)

This stamp highlights the pepper (Capsicum annuum), a fundamental ingredient of Tunisian gastronomy and a pillar of the country's market gardening crops, particularly in the Cap Bon and Kairouan regions. The illustration features brightly colored specimens — green, yellow and red — against a background of green fields, symbolizing the fertility of the coastal plains. Beyond the agricultural aspect, this visual evokes the culinary identity of Tunisia, pepper being the basis of essential dishes such as mechouia salad or harissa, testifying to a dynamic rural economy geared towards local consumption and export.
