Factors affecting current pepper prices
Today's pepper prices are influenced by several supply and demand factors. On the supply side, Vietnam is at the peak of its harvest season, and Cambodia has also begun harvesting its pepper crop. New crop supplies are continuously entering the market, putting pressure on prices to remain stable rather than continue rising.
On the demand side, the continued participation of domestic exporters has supported price levels. Farmers remain cautious, not rushing to sell despite being in the peak harvest season. Rising energy costs due to fluctuating oil prices caused by the Middle East conflict are also driving up production and transportation costs.
Vietnam's pepper exports reached a record high in the first quarter of 2026.
