'''Guntur chillies''' ([[Telugu language|Telugu]]: {{transl|te|ISO|Guntūr mirapakāyalu}}) are a group of [[Chili pepper|chilli]] cultivars from the [[Guntur district|Guntur]] and [[Prakasam district|Prakasam]] districts of [[Andhra Pradesh]], [[India]]. They are renowned globally and exported to Asia, Canada, and Europe. The [[Guntur district]] is the main producer and exporter of most varieties of chillies and chilli powder from India to regions such as Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Middle East, South Korea, the UK, the US, and Latin America. Chillies have various colours and flavours because of the level of [[capsaicin]] in them. Guntur chillies form an important part of curries and various popular dishes of the state of [[Andhra Pradesh]] in India. The main trading place for the Guntur chilli is called Guntur Mirchi Yard, which is Asia's largest dried red chilli market.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://gunturmirchi.in/|title=Dried Red Chilli Exports, Guntur Dried Red Chillies Live Rates, Guntur Dried Red Chillies Live Prices, Guntur Mirchi Live Rates, Guntur Mirchi Live Prices, Guntur Market Yard Live Rates, Guntur Mirchi Yard Live Prices, Guntur Mirchi Yard, Guntur Mirchi Exports|website=gunturmirchi.in|access-date=2019-09-26}}</ref> Market prices for the chillies are accessible on the [[E-NAM|National Agriculture Market]]<ref>{{cite web |title=Agriculture marketing: How e-NAM has become an 'inam' for farmers |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/india/agriculture-marketing-how-e-nam-has-become-an-inam-for-farmers-6162552/ |website=Indian Express |date=12 December 2019 |publisher=Indian Express |accessdate=22 December 2019}}</ref> or [https://enam.gov.in/web/dashboard/trade-data e-NAM].
