In your kitchen, you surely have a whole range of ingredients whose origin you definitely do not know. It is clear that nowadays it is not possible to buy all ingredients from local sources, from known farmers and growers, but if you cook with ingredients that were put into your hands by those who grew or raised them themselves, believe that it will be much better to cook with such ingredients and the food will taste all the more delicious to you. In the name of direct trade, you can also directly influence many things The moment you go to farmers' markets and buy, for example, potatoes, in most cases you are making what is called direct trade. This term means purchasing an ingredient directly from the source who grew or raised that ingredient. And this is exactly how we buy pepper here at  .pepper..field from farmers in Cambodia.  There are several reasons why we decided to take this path. The most important is that thanks to this we have a perfect overview of quality and can guarantee that the peppercorns we offer are truly the best that the Kampot plantations have to offer. For direct sales, a fair reward The second equally important aspect for us is finance. Not the money that goes to us, but rather the money paid to the farmers from whom we buy the pepper. Only through direct contact with them do we have the certainty that they receive an adequate financial reward for their effort, without middlemen taking their percentage. Last but not least, it is very important for us to know from whom we obtain the pepper. We know the stories and names of the people who go out to their plantations every day to take care of the peppercorns. We know their wives and children and also their dreams. We try to fulfill those dreams, make their lives better, and bring the same smile to their faces that we have when we taste their pepper.  How do you like direct trade? ☺ We love it very much!
