Farmers in India smear hot chili peppers on fences to deter elephants and other wildlife from entering their fields. The strong smell and irritation caused by the chili peppers act as a natural repellent, helping to protect crops from being damaged by these animals. This practice is an effective and eco-friendly method to reduce human-animal conflict in agricultural areas. Additionally, it reflects traditional knowledge and resourcefulness in managing wildlife interactions.
Chili peppers are native to the Americas, specifically originating from regions in Central and South America.
Known by several names, including Bhut Jolokia, Naga Jolokia, and poison pepper, these fiery chilies are best known in the West as Ghost Peppers. They clock in at a staggering 800,000 to 1,000,000 Scoville units, or 4-5 times hotter than habanero peppers. In 2007, they were acknowledged the world's hottest pepper, and remain the hottest commercially available pepper. Their capsaicin content is so high that farmers in India have been known to smear fresh chilies on fences to keep wild elephants away. Use these thin-skinned peppers to add a blast of heat to sauces, salsas, chili, or any dish that needs heating up. Use sparingly, and handle with care. Cut peppers in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves or wash hands thoroughly after handling.

By what I've heard, Dragon Fire Peppers are a incredibly spicy pepper produced somewhere in India. I don't know where, but I'm sure it's in India. Hope this helped.
