Although the volume of exports to Europe decreased by 4.5% compared to the same period last year, Vietnam still far surpasses other competitors in market share.

Indonesia reached 6,484 tons, a 10.7% increase, and India supplied 4,124 tons, a 9.8% decrease. These figures show that despite increased competition, Vietnamese pepper remains popular due to its stable quality, abundant supply, and professional export system.
