Experts say that pepper prices have now passed the downward cycle and are entering an upward cycle. The decline in supply, combined with high demand during the year-end holiday season, along with information about reduced exports from Vietnam, have put great pressure on the market. In addition, high transportation costs and the depreciation of the US dollar have also contributed to the recovery of pepper prices.
Although prices show signs of recovery, experts advise farmers not to rush to sell pepper in the early stages of the season, especially not to borrow money to store pepper, to avoid risks from unpredictable market fluctuations.
Currently, pepper prices are hovering around VND144,000/kg, bringing optimism to growers after a long period of hardship. According to forecasts, the scarcity of supply, when inventories fell to their lowest level in the past 6-8 years, has created a great driving force for pepper prices to increase again. Moreover, export demand from major markets such as the US and EU remains stable and continues to support the domestic pepper market.
