Chilli Pepper Pete has been involved in setting up a project to grow the Naga in Spain, just over the border from Gibraltar; they are grown in poly tunnels and the high temperatures in the tunnels stress the plants making the pods incredibly hot, The pods are then semi dried (demi sec) for shipping.

They had samples of the pods at West Dean, where Darth Naga did a taste test, which was uncomfortable to watch.

In Baja California and Central Mexico they have also been working with local producers to grow the Naga for the US market.
