WHITE PEPPER (Piper nigrum) PRODUCTION AND THE CHALLENGE OF POVERTY REDUCTION IN PENJA, CAMEROON |

In most emerging countries, reducing rural poverty by increasing agricultural production is a serious problem. The major goal of this research was to determine the impact of white pepper production on the poverty reduction problem in Penja, Cameroon. To create a poverty reduction index utilising primary data acquired in the study area, we must use multiple correspondence analyses. Weighted ordinary least squares is used to calculate the outcome. The findings reveal that white pepper production in Penja, Cameroon, is strongly linked to poverty alleviation. The reduction in poverty, on the other hand, can be attributed to the industrial production of pepper. Climate change, financial issues, and the lack of farmed land are all major obstacles for pepper farmers, according to our findings. In terms of policy, the government should establish policies to regulate the pepper market and provide subsidies to pepper producers. This is a smart move on Cameroon's direction of increased productivity and poverty reduction.
