“…The use of river or stream to soak the berries requires less cost as it uses natural existing resource to conduct the retting process. The initial set up cost is also inexpensive as the pepper berries are stuffed into gunny sacks and after sufficient retting, the drying process can be carried out using sun‐drying . However, the use of the water retting method has been considerably reduced over the years due to the extensive stench and pollution caused by anaerobic bacterial fermentation .…”

White pepper is the dried seeds obtained from pepper berries (Piper nigrum L.) after the removal of the pericarp. It has been widely used as seasoning and condiments in food preparation. Globally, white pepper fetches a higher price compared to black pepper due to its lighter colour, preferable milder flavour and pungency. Increasing global demand of the spice outpaced the supply as the conventional production method used is laborious, lengthy and also not very hygienic. The most common conventional method is water retting but can also include pit soil, chemical, boiling, steaming and mechanical methods. The introduction of a biotechnological approach has gained a lot of interest, as it is a more rapid, convenient and hygienic method of producing white pepper. This technique involves the application of microorganisms and/or enzymes. This review highlights both conventional and latest biotechnological processes of white pepper production. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry

“…Before this, stolon (water shoot, hanging shoot or runner shoot) has never been used as planting material in Malaysia due to unpromising growth and that it normally retarded before maturity. Therefore, stolon that is hanging or trailing on the ground is normally removed once emerged to reduce fertilizer uptake [3].…”

“…It has gained a global recognition as the "king of spice" due to its monetary value and trade in the international spice market [2]. In Malaysia, particularly in the state of Sarawak, black pepper has played pivotal role as cash crop for farmers [3].…”

In accordance to National Commodity Policy (2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016)(2017)(2018)(2019)(2020), Malaysian government targets at expending the pepper cultivated area from the current 16,331 ha to 20,110 ha by year 2020. Based on a planting density of 2,000 vines/ha, there will be an urgent need of 7.588 million cuttings for the next five years in order to achieve this target. However, shortages of planting materials, low productivity and occurrence of pests and diseases remain as the major challenge of pepper industry nowadays. Therefore, a novel farming innovation, namely W-configuration cultivation method has been developed to ensure high production of planting materials for large-scale pepper cultivation and at the same time to maximize land use in pepper farm. A field evaluation was conducted to compare the cutting production among W-configuration, V-configuration and traditional cultivation method. W-configuration recorded the highest mean number of pepper cuttings produced with 11.97 cuttings per vine in every pruning cycle, or equivalent to 71% of increment as compared to 7.00 cuttings per vine produced from the traditional planting method. Meanwhile, V-configuration produced 8.91 of mean cuttings, which are significantly lower than those produced by W-configuration method and yet comparable to traditional method. Based on return on investment (ROI) analysis, implementation of W-configuration cultivation method was able to achieve 35% of return per cycle of planting within two years for the first cycle and upsurged to approximately 355% for the subsequence cycle. Furthermore, this novel innovation also out-yielded traditional planting method by 75.27% for the first and second year of green berry production. The ROI analysis proved the feasibility of this newly developed cultivation method to create potential new income for pepper smallholders in Malaysia, who traditionally cultivate pepper for its peppercorn production. This study also enlightened the thorough planting procedures of W-configuration cultivation method mainly for pepper cutting production.
