Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for supporting and participating in IPC's initiatives, especially our online conference 2020. The theme "Pepper in Challenging Times" was a relevant topic and feedback from participants shows that the speakers did justice to that. We will definitely bring you more thought provoking and engaging topics and great speakers in future as well.

505 participants from 44 countries and 135 exhibitors is beyond my expectations too. Over and above a hassle free viewing of the smoothly orchestrated sessions, a lot of participants enjoyed the networking platform that was integrated into the online conference. Adding to that is a wealth of suppliers participating in the Virtual Exhibition. The list covers not just pepper suppliers, but suppliers from the entire spice industry. So if you are a customer looking at finding the right supplier for you, this is a good place to start.

Considering this energy and enthusiasm, we have decided to keep the Virtual Exhibition open for one year. Not just that, we will invite any one dealing in pepper to put up a Virtual Stall here for free. Our objective is to bring all suppliers on one platform so that buyers can find them easily. The search and sort function will help you easily find your supplier. It might take us a couple of days to configure our software into an open platform. Kindly await an announcement from us shortly.

All PPTs used in the presentations and the Consolidated Crop report are already available through the mobile app IPC2020 as well as through your computer login. You are welcome to download and share as you please. The video recordings of each session will be made available in a few days.

Once again thanking you from the bottom of my heart.


Yours Sincerely,


Hoang Thi Lien
Executive Director
International Pepper Community
