原产于马达加斯加、深受国际厨师青睐的稀有沃齐佩里费里胡椒，正因不负责任的采摘、丛林火灾和木炭生产而面临野生栖息地枯竭的困境。根据联合国粮食及农业组织的数据，1990年至2025年间，马达加斯加的天然森林缩减了27%，这意味着这种胡椒所生长的藤蔓已无处攀爬。
The rare Voatsiperifery pepper, native to Madagascar and coveted by international chefs, is facing the depletion of its wild habitat through irresponsible harvesting, bush fires, and charcoal production. Madagascar’s natural forests shrank 27% between 1990 and 2025, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, meaning the vines on which the pepper grows have nowhere to climb.
在法国这个该胡椒的主要出口市场，其售价为每公斤167至222美元；而在马达加斯加国内，世代以来当地马达加斯加人都将其视为药材。法裔马达加斯加企业家奥利维耶·拉马赫里松告诉法新社，他目前正在试验人工栽培这种植物，看这种藤蔓的横向枝条能否在更靠近地面的地方大量产出这种胡椒。
In France, the pepper’s main export market, it sells for $167-$222 per kilogram, while at home it has been considered medicinal by the Malagasy people for generations. French-Malagasy entrepreneur Olivier Ramaherison told AFP that he is now experimenting with domesticating the plant to see if the horizontal branches of the vine can mass-produce the pepper closer to the ground.
