Continued to remain high thanks to stable exports

According to forecasts, pepper prices on October 23 may continue to remain high domestically and in the world market, thanks to stable export demand and limited supply.

With Vietnam's average pepper export price in the first half of October exceeding the threshold of 6,500 USD/ton, the highest price in nearly 8 years, experts believe that the price stability trend will continue.

In the world market, pepper prices today, October 22, 2024, fluctuated little in the world. According to the International Pepper Association (IPC), this week's pepper market shows a negative outlook. Even though Indian pepper prices are currently being positively evaluated, they have stagnated this week. Meanwhile, Indonesian and Brazilian pepper prices have been announced to be adjusted down consecutively.

Meanwhile, the domestic market is stable. Pepper prices today increased by 500 - 1,000 VND/kg compared to the same time yesterday. The market still recorded low transaction volume due to low supply. Cash flow poured into coffee trading in the context of the price of this agricultural product also increasing compared to last year.

Pepper price forecast on October 23: Maintained at high level thanks to stable export

By the end of October 2023, coffee prices will fluctuate around VND60,000/kg; pepper will be at VND70,000/kg. After one year, both agricultural products will have doubled.

With the current higher price level than previous years, along with the assessment that Vietnam's pepper exports will continue to receive price support in the coming time, farmers in localities across the country tend to replant this once-famous "black gold" crop. Accordingly, many farming households with old pepper gardens have boldly invested in new planting or expanding the area compared to before.

In Vietnam, the export price of 500g/l black pepper is trading at 6,500 USD/ton; and 550g/l is at 6,800 USD/ton. The export price of white pepper is at 9,500 USD/ton.

The Import-Export Department (Ministry of Industry and Trade) forecasts that pepper export prices will continue to be supported by limited supply, while demand in the international market remains high. It is expected that Vietnam's 2025 pepper crop will be harvested later due to the impact of prolonged drought. This will reduce the expected output, thereby keeping pepper prices high.

The 2025 pepper harvest will start in February and last until March and April, later than in previous years. With these factors, pepper prices may remain high in the coming time.
