The arrival of the new crop on the market is creating pressure that could cause a slight price decrease in the short term; however, in the long term, many forecasts suggest that pepper prices will continue to trend upwards.

Pepper harvesting is in full swing in key growing regions. Dak Nong has harvested about 70% of its area, Dak Lak 40%, and Gia Lai and Dong Nai around 50%.

In March, Vietnam is expected to export between 16,000 and 18,000 tons of pepper. However, the total export volume for the first quarter of 2025 is projected to reach only 43,000-45,000 tons, the lowest level in the past six years.

Today's pepper prices (April 1st) in the world market.

On the world market, based on quotations from exporting companies and export prices in various countries, the International Pepper Association (IPC) has updated the prices of various types of pepper traded on the international market on April 1st (local time) as follows:

Indonesian Lampung black pepper prices remained unchanged from yesterday at US$7,239/ton. Similarly, Muntok white pepper prices also remained unchanged from yesterday at US$10,066/ton.

The price of Brazilian ASTA 570 black pepper remained unchanged from yesterday at $7,000 per ton.

Malaysian ASTA black pepper prices remained unchanged from yesterday at US$9,900/tonne. Additionally, the price of ASTA white pepper from the same country also stayed the same as yesterday at US$12,400/tonne.

Prices for all types of Vietnamese pepper remained unchanged compared to yesterday. Specifically, the price of Vietnamese black pepper (500 gr/l) reached US$7,100/ton; and the price of black pepper (550 gr/l) reached US$7,300/ton.

Similarly, the price of Vietnamese white pepper remained unchanged from yesterday at $10,100 per ton.

Globally, pepper production in 2025 is projected to fall to 434,000 tons. Meanwhile, demand remains high. Tight supply, stable demand, and farmers' hoarding behavior continue to be key factors keeping pepper prices high.

Export businesses are currently stepping up procurement to secure supplies for international partners, helping to support the domestic market.

On the international market, pepper prices – especially black pepper – are also trending upwards due to strong demand from major markets such as the US and Europe. Major pepper-producing countries including Vietnam, Indonesia, and Brazil are all facing difficulties due to bad weather, reducing production. Meanwhile, major consuming countries are increasing imports to supply their food and spice industries.

The US dollar remains strong, creating favorable conditions for pepper prices on the international market. In Vietnam, post-harvest supply remains scarce as farmers and traders continue to hold onto their stock, selling only a very limited amount. This further fuels expectations that pepper prices will remain high in the near future.
