According to data from the Vietnam Pepper and Spice Association (VPSA), in the first quarter of this year, Vietnam's pepper exports to China reached 2,034 tons, a sharp increase of 87.8% over the same period last year.
However, compared to 2023, this figure is still 92.2% lower. China has risen to the fourth position among Vietnam's largest pepper export markets, with its market share increasing from 1.9% to 4.3%.
The sharp increase in pepper exports to China shows that the country is running out of pepper reserves. However, exports are still limited due to China's tightening control of goods crossing the border. If traveling by sea, the high cost makes many Chinese importers reluctant to implement orders.
Domestically, pepper production is being heavily affected by the weather. Prolonged drought in the first months of 2025 has negatively impacted major pepper growing areas in the Central Highlands and the Southeast.
Although some recent rains have helped improve the situation, they are not enough to fully restore pepper gardens. Late rains can also disrupt the development of flower buds, leading to the risk of reducing yields for the following season.
While output shows signs of decline, domestic pepper prices remain high, providing peace of mind to growers. Vietnam is currently entering the peak harvest period, expected to last until the end of April.
Unlike previous years, when prices often fell due to a sharp increase in supply, this year pepper prices remained around 150,000 VND/kg. The main reason is that farmers have a mentality of holding onto their goods and are not under pressure to sell early like before.
In early April, pepper prices had a dip, but then quickly recovered and increased sharply. By mid-April, domestic pepper prices had approached the 160,000 VND/kg mark.
Although high prices are a positive signal for pepper growers, they create many difficulties for export enterprises. VPSA forecasts that in the second quarter, export activities may face many challenges due to high prices reducing purchasing power and affecting the financial capacity of import partners.
