Abstract

Java Long Pepper occurs wild in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. It is also found in the Ryuku Islands and Yunnan, and is cultivated in Guangdong, China and Kampuchea. Long pepper is cultivated only to a limited extent on Java, Bali and some neighbouring islands, as the species occurs in sufficient quantities in the wild.
