Greenhouse Bell Peppers

Greenhouse BellPeppers

Red Peppers

Red bell peppers represent the premium end of the greenhouse pepper market, delivering average yields of about 30 kg/m² (6.1 lbs/sq.ft.). Distinguished by their vibrant red color, full maturity, and higher sweetness (Brix values of 8–12), red peppers typically require 30–45 additional days of maturation compared to green peppers. Each fruit usually weighs 180–220 grams (6.3–7.7 oz), benefiting from precise greenhouse climate management—temperatures maintained at 18–25°C (64–77°F) and humidity around 65–85%. The longer ripening period and enhanced sweetness significantly increase their market value, enabling growers to capture premium prices and strong consumer demand despite the longer production cycle and higher cultivation costs.
