General information

Short Summary
A Spanish company from La Rioja is looking for reliable international producers or wholesalers of dried ñora peppers (Capsicum annuum, HS 090421) for import and resale in the Spanish market. The company is expanding its search after unsuccessful sourcing attempts in Morocco and the Netherlands. Cooperation is intended under a supplier or wholesale agreement.
Full Description
A company based in La Rioja, northern Spain — a region known for its culinary traditions and use of dried peppers — is currently seeking foreign producers, processors, or wholesalers of ñora peppers (Capsicum annuum), classified under HS code 090421.

Ñora peppers are a traditional dried red pepper used in Spanish cuisine, especially for sauces, stews, and rice dishes. The company is not a producer but an importer/distributor seeking to meet growing local demand by sourcing high-quality dried ñora peppers from abroad.

The company has already explored suppliers in Morocco and the Netherlands, but was unable to find a consistent or suitable offering. It is now actively looking to establish long-term relationships with reliable partners capable of supplying the product in bulk, with food-grade certification and traceability in place.

Ideal suppliers would offer dried whole ñora peppers, with possible options for stemless, deseeded, or cleaned versions. Packaging preferences include bulk sacks or boxes, depending on volume and logistics.
