Specifically, pepper prices in Dak Nong and Dak Lak are being purchased at the highest level of 152,000 VND/kg, an increase of 6,000 VND/kg over the previous week.

According to the Import-Export Department under the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the increase in domestic pepper prices shows that demand from export enterprises and the domestic market is stable. This increase also reflects a short-term supply shortage, especially when a part of the output has been contracted since the beginning of the year.
Domestic pepper prices are expected to remain high if supply remains limited, supported by increased imports to meet demand during the year-end holiday season. To maintain export growth, businesses need to focus on improving product quality and meeting increasingly stringent quarantine and traceability requirements from high-end markets.
Vietnam’s pepper industry is currently enjoying a double advantage with rising domestic pepper prices, stable export activities and sustained international demand. This is a welcome sign after many years of strong market fluctuations.
However, to maintain its long-term position, the industry needs to build a sustainable development strategy focusing on deep processing, brand building and market diversification, instead of relying solely on exporting raw products.
In the short term, the upward trend in pepper prices is expected to continue to support pepper growers and create more momentum for Vietnam's agricultural exports in the last months of 2025.
