This cayenne-type variety stands out due to its broad resistance to CMV, PVY, Phytophthora, anthracnose, and bacterial wilt, making it a strong candidate for regions with high disease pressure. It also offers 6.8–18.01 t/ha yield potential over 10 harvest and performs well under heat and irregular rainfall—key for savanna agro-ecologies.

For Seed Multipliers

What seed multipliers should focus on:

• Prioritize clean, disease-free foundation seed from WorldVeg or official channels.
• Maintain tight quality control during flowering and fruiting to avoid contamination with landraces or local susceptible varieties.
• Invest in visual sorting protocols: this variety produces long, slender, moderately pungent red fruits. Uniformity matters to end users (processors and exporters), so seed purity is critical.
• Certification and packaging steps follow standard national procedures.

For Resellers (Agro-dealers, Wholesalers)

To include this variety in your seed sales strategy:

• Book seed volumes in advance with certified multipliers or official seed companies to secure supply before peak demand.
• Verify seed certification and shelf life, and ensure packaging includes clear varietal identity and storage instructions.
• Stock small and medium seed pack sizes to accommodate different farmer purchasing powers, especially in rural and peri-urban zones.
• Promote the variety as a solution for disease-prone and high-temperature areas—use images showing fruit shape and drying potential.
• Train store staff and agents to explain how this variety differs from recycled seeds or local landraces (e.g., stable yields, reduced losses).
• Coordinate seasonal sales with planting calendars, ensuring availability when farmers are making input decisions.
• Target development partners and cooperatives procuring seed for farmer support programs in climate-sensitive zones.

For Users (Commercial Farmers, Aggregators, Processors)

To integrate the variety into your production or sourcing model:

• Test the variety under your local conditions, especially if you're in zones with viral disease outbreaks or unreliable rainfall.
• Place seed orders early through trusted distributors to secure certified seed in time for nursery preparation or direct sowing.
• Incorporate the expected yield (5–7 t/ha) and lower pesticide use into your production cost projections—this can improve ROI.
• Design aggregation or contract farming schemes around this variety’s stable performance, ensuring uniform product flow to processors or traders.
• Invest in basic post-harvest handling (drying mats, storage sacks) if processing or storing for chili powder or spice blends.
• Market end-products around consistent size and pungency, whether selling dried pods, powdered chili, or fresh produce.
• Consider forward agreements with buyers (e.g. local processors, exporters) based on the predictable quality and supply this variety offers.
