3. Updates from the Indian market.
According to data from the Indian Ministry of Commerce, the country's pepper imports in January reached 2,119 tons, a decrease of nearly 40% compared to the same period last year. However, pepper imports from Vietnam recorded an impressive growth of 27.4%, reaching 626 tons and accounting for nearly one-third of the market share.
The Indian domestic market is currently quite quiet due to geopolitical instability, leading to a decline in export demand. Black pepper prices in the country have fallen slightly, reaching $6,760 per ton.
Harvesting conditions in key Indian states are also facing significant difficulties. Kerala is expected to see a 20-25% drop in production. Karnataka faces an even worse scenario, with estimated yields only about half of what is normal. Severe weather is considered the main reason for the scarcity of new crop supply, leading farmers to limit sales while waiting for better prices.
