According to the Import-Export Department of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, domestic inventory levels are gradually decreasing. At the same time, demand from major export markets is likely to increase. These factors will help keep pepper prices high in the near future.
Short-term pepper prices are expected to remain volatile. Prices largely depend on weather conditions in growing regions and import demand from major markets. Nevertheless, the market is still considered quite favorable for farmers and businesses. This is because international buyer interest remains stable, while supply from some producing countries is currently limited.
Notably, Vietnamese businesses are expected to reduce imports of raw pepper for processing and re-export to the US market. This reduction in pepper imports will also contribute to a less abundant domestic supply, thereby supporting high pepper prices.
