What happened
Olivier Roellinger is collaborating on efforts to certify authentic pepper from Madagascar based on strictly regulated harvesting zones. This effort comes as the rare wild pepper, which is prized by international chefs, faces an uncertain future due to forest habitat destruction in Madagascar. The pepper is sold in France, its main export market, for 150 to 200 euros per kilogram.

Why it matters
The certification aims to secure the market for this rare spice, which is highly valued in France. The pepper's supply is threatened by the shrinking of Madagascar's natural forests, which shrank 27% between 1990 and 2025, according to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization.
An export crisis is currently threatening access to French markets, and global exports are plummeting in volume and value.
