In Vietnam, the export price of 500 g/l and 550 g/l black pepper both decreased by 200 USD/ton compared to the previous week.

In India, although pepper production is forecast to drop sharply to about 76,000 tons compared to 126,000 tons last year, pepper prices have not increased as the usual supply and demand rule. The reason is that domestic demand is only about 60,000 tons and inventories from last year are still about 50,000 tons, creating great pressure on the market.
In addition, cheap pepper imports from Vietnam and Sri Lanka continue to flood into India thanks to regional free trade agreements. In the first 11 months of FY2024–25, India imported 24,000 tonnes of pepper from Sri Lanka, a sharp increase over the previous year. Imports from Vietnam also reached over 11,000 tonnes, despite being subject to a high duty of 51%. Total pepper imports into India in FY2024 have reached 37,000 tonnes, up from 35,000 tonnes last year.
Currently, domestic pepper prices in India are hovering around Rs 700 per kg, Rs 25 lower than last month. Meanwhile, imported pepper prices are only around Rs 25 lower per kg, making domestic pepper less competitive and farmers not getting the expected profits.
The new pepper season in Sri Lanka is expected to start from June, adding further downward pressure on prices in the Indian market. Although Indian Malabar Gold pepper remains high in quality in the international market, the influx of cheap pepper from other countries will continue to limit price increases in the near term.
