New Season Paprika Harvest Has Started
![]()
The new paprika harvest season has officially started in China.
At Qingdao Tiancifeng Foods Co., Ltd., we are closely following the harvesting progress of our paprika raw materials from the growing areas. After months of field management and natural ripening, the peppers have now reached the stage for harvesting.
For paprika products, the quality of the raw material is one of the most important factors affecting the final color, flavor, moisture and overall stability of the finished product.
From the Field to the Factory
During the harvest season, our team pays close attention to:
The maturity and natural red color of the paprika pods
Raw material moisture
Pod condition and cleanliness
Harvesting and drying conditions
Storage and transportation before processing
Only properly matured paprika can provide a stable and attractive color for further processing into paprika powder, paprika flakes and paprika granules.
New Crop, New Supply Season
The beginning of the harvest also means that the new crop will gradually enter the processing and supply stage.
After harvesting, the paprika will go through drying, cleaning, sorting and further processing according to different customer requirements.
At Tiancifeng Foods, we can supply different specifications of paprika products, including:
Paprika Powder
Paprika Flakes
Paprika Granules
Paprika Pods
Customized ASTA color specifications
We continuously monitor the new crop situation because raw material quality, weather conditions, planting area and market demand can all influence availability and pricing during the new season.

Quality Starts Before Processing
Good paprika does not start from the grinding line.
It starts in the field.
By following the crop from planting and harvesting through drying and processing, we are able to better understand the condition of each season's raw materials and maintain more consistent product quality for our customers.
The 2026 new paprika season is now underway, and we will continue sharing updates on harvest progress, raw material quality and market conditions in the coming weeks.
