The domestic pepper market is maintaining its upward momentum as the new harvest has yet to begin, leading to a scarcity of supply. Meanwhile, export demand remains stable at a high level, helping pepper prices stay at a good level for several consecutive weeks.
According to statistics, in the first nine months of 2025 alone, Vietnam's pepper exports reached nearly $1.3 billion, equivalent to the entire year of 2024. The average export price reached approximately $6,773 per ton, an increase of over 37% compared to the same period last year. This strong growth demonstrates that Vietnam's pepper remains very strong in the international market.
Experts predict that domestic pepper prices may stabilize or increase slightly early next week, fluctuating between 500 and 1500 VND/kg. If new export orders are signed, especially from the US and the Middle East, pepper prices could reach 151,000 - 152,000 VND/kg in some key regions.

Pepper price forecast
According to businesses, the increase in pepper prices is mainly due to a decrease in global supply, while demand from major markets such as the US, India, and the Middle East remains high. Vietnam continues to be the world's number one pepper exporter, accounting for a large share of the total global supply.
Conversely, while world pepper prices remain high, trading activity is not yet truly vibrant. Major exporting countries such as Brazil, Indonesia, and Malaysia are proactively regulating their supply, making it difficult for international prices to fall significantly. This trend indirectly helps the domestic market maintain stable, high prices.
Besides supply and demand factors, rising production costs, fluctuations in the USD/VND exchange rate, and the farmers' expectation of higher prices also contribute to maintaining the upward trend. Many farmers are still limiting sales, waiting for better prices towards the end of the year, a time when consumer demand in major markets usually increases sharply.
