Domestic pepper prices are rising sharply again, mainly due to limited post-harvest supply and farmers' tendency to hold onto their stock while waiting for higher prices. On the world market, pepper prices remain stable at high levels, providing further impetus for the upward trend in the domestic market.
In the coming period, if demand from major markets such as the Middle East and Europe increases sharply in the second quarter, pepper prices could continue to climb. Localities with high-quality pepper, such as Dak Lak and Dak Nong, are expected to benefit greatly in this context.
The United States is currently Vietnam's largest pepper export market, accounting for approximately 25% of export value and consuming up to 77% of pepper exports. However, the 10% import tariff imposed by the US on pepper is creating significant pressure on the industry. Many US importers have temporarily suspended transactions, creating additional competition from countries like Brazil and Indonesia, where tariffs are lower.
At the same time, Vietnam is also facing the risk of retaliatory tariffs of up to 46% on pepper. This makes farmers even more inclined to hoard their stock, waiting for prices to peak, leading to even greater supply shortages.
Mr. Ngo Ba Luong, Manager of the Southern Pepper Raw Material Area of Son Ha Spice Company, said that the majority of the company's pepper is exported to the United States and Europe.
However, farmers storing pepper in substandard sacks or tarpaulins can lead to the risk of contamination with Sudan Red, an industrial dye banned from use in food.
To address this situation, some businesses have supported farmers by lending them warehouses to store pepper and taking advantage of existing contracts to ship goods before the new tax rate is applied. Many partners are also urging businesses to deliver goods within the current 90-day period.
Mr. Luong shared that the company is striving to adapt and hopes that the negotiations between Vietnam and the relevant countries will soon yield positive results. In the meantime, the company continues to communicate with partners and customers to find solutions and ensure that trade activities are not disrupted.
