To meet market demand and increase income, many farmers in the West of Gia Lai province have switched to growing green pepper in the off-season. This method helps increase the value of the crop and helps farmers be more proactive in the face of market fluctuations.

The price of off-season green pepper currently ranges from 50,000 to 70,000 VND/kg, 1.5 to 2 times higher than the main season. In particular, from April to July, pepper prices can reach 110,000 - 120,000 VND/kg.

In Kon Gang commune, many households have applied new pepper varieties and off-season models. After only 3 years, the pepper garden has yielded an average of about 12 kg of fresh pepper per pillar. Currently, each hectare of green pepper can bring in a profit of 500 million VND/year. The products are exported to Thailand, so the output is quite stable.

To make up for the shortfall, Vietnam’s pepper imports in the first half of the year increased by 57% to 28,000 tonnes.

While Vietnam’s output is expected to decline, Brazil’s is expected to reach 89,000 tonnes, up 26% thanks to improved productivity and expanded acreage. In contrast, India’s output is forecast to fall 20% due to adverse weather conditions, while Indonesia’s is estimated to reach 37,000 tonnes. Global pepper prices have stabilized after a surge in late 2024, but US tariffs continue to cause uncertainty, significantly impacting the Vietnamese market.
