According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Vietnam's agricultural sector accounts for about 30% of the country's total greenhouse gas emissions.

In Dak Nong province, agricultural cultivation, especially pepper cultivation, is both heavily affected by climate change and contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, increasing global warming.

To develop pepper sustainably and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the provincial agricultural sector has encouraged farmers to apply technical measures such as scientific pepper garden management, balanced nutrition, reasonable fertilization, use of compost from agricultural by-products to improve soil quality, and change the method of fertilization from spreading to landfill to reduce loss and emissions.

Organic and biosafety farming models are helping many long-standing pepper gardens in Dak Nong maintain high productivity and good quality.

Pepper is currently one of the four key agricultural products of Dak Nong province, second only to coffee in terms of planted area, bringing high economic value and playing an important role in the local crop structure.

However, to improve productivity, limit pests and meet quality standards, farmers need to continue to innovate farming methods and invest in the right direction.

Early this morning, pepper prices recorded an increase of 500 - 1,000 VND/kg compared to the same time yesterday. Since the beginning of the week, the market has been erratic, with pepper prices fluctuating slightly in the context of cash flow shifting to coffee trading. At the same time, the recent sharp increase in the USD has also negatively affected pepper prices on the international market.

However, according to assessments, Vietnamese pepper still retains some of its own advantages, even though the market is under a lot of pressure.

In recent times, unfavorable weather has caused many difficulties for pepper farmers. Many localities have reported that many pepper flowers have fallen off, resulting in low fruit set rates and a high risk of crop failure.

This year, hot and dry weather, low humidity and late rains have not created favorable conditions for pepper plants to flower. Pepper is a plant sensitive to weather conditions, so crop failures often occur.

Pepper prices are currently high, but with production falling, many farmers are concerned that profits could fall sharply. This situation poses a major challenge for the pepper industry in ensuring sustainable production and adapting to climate change.
