On the other hand, Vietnam also imported 3,711 tons of pepper with a turnover of 22.2 million USD. Brazil and Cambodia continued to be the two main suppliers, accounting for 1,783 tons and 1,339 tons, respectively. Olam Vietnam, Gia Vien Viet Nam and Simexco Dak Lak were the main importers during the period.
