Elephant Pepper

Elephant Pepper discovered that elephants hate chillies, will not eat them and find their hot spicy smell a major discomfort. This makes the humble chilli a perfect non-lethal elephant deterrent that African farmers can grow easily while keeping elephants out of their crops.
Elephant Pepper Brand was created to help address the lack of income opportunities within these remote communities and provide a sustainable revenue channel for the project. Farmers sell their chillies to Elephant Pepper, and we use this key ingredient in our unique African spice products, which are marketed and sold around the world via our for profit brand Elephant Pepper Brand. www.elephantpepper.com
Elephant Pepper seeks to run a profitable and sustainable business and become a bench mark for other social & environmental entrepreneurs in building sustainability into their projects thru innovative revenue opportunities.
Elephant Pepper works collaboratively with our sister organization, the Elephant Pepper Development Trust (EPDT), under a shared vision of wildlife protection and sustainable economic development. Profits from the sale of our products are invested back to the EPDT to further elephant conservation projects.
In-addition Elephant Pepper has a exclusive contract with Tabasco for the supply of tabasco chilli mash.
