The team at Kampot Jewels grows some of the best pepper in the world. But that’s not all. They also bring social responsibility and organic farming to the next level.

Michelin star restaurant pepper

“Kampot Jewels” is the brand name of the range of organic peppers produced by Fair Farms Cambodia. The name stems from the exceptional quality of the pepper grown in the Kampot region in the Southern part of Cambodia, which makes it a precious spice renowned by chefs and gourmets around the world, and a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) in the European Union. The various grain colors (green, red, black, white), which can be obtained naturally from the same peppercorn through different traditional processes, are reminiscent of finely polished gemstones that can be enjoyed whole or grounded (think diamond powder…). Our customers are high-end restaurants who value the exceptional quality of our product and share our socials values.

 Grown by an amazing local team

The name of our company – Fair Farms – is also a recognition of the significant contribution from our local team of 20 or so employees, who tirelessly perform all the tasks needed to grow this fabulous pepper: watering the trees (using underground water) in the dry season, removing the flowers of the young trees, digging holes to make room for natural fertilizer (cow dung), cutting the ever-growing grass to keep the insects from spreading, and not forgetting the once-a-year harvest. We acknowledge these remarkable efforts by providing our staff with a competitive salary, health insurance, a monthly food allowance and living quarters at the farm. This commitment has helped us maintain a stable team with a balanced mix of young and experienced farmers.
