Currently, pepper harvesting in the Central Highlands provinces is progressing rapidly. According to Ptexim's survey, Dak Nong has harvested approximately 70% of its area, Lam Dong 60%, and Dak Lak about 40%. Other provinces such as Gia Lai, Binh Phuoc, Dong Nai, and Ba Ria - Vung Tau have reached about 50%.

However, despite having harvested most of their crops, the majority of farmers are holding onto their produce, with no intention of selling it to the market yet.

In Dak Lak province, there are over 27,700 hectares of pepper plantations, of which approximately 24,180 hectares are currently producing pepper, with an estimated yield of nearly 75,000 tons, equivalent to a productivity of about 3.1 tons per hectare.

Cu Kuin district – a key pepper-producing area of ​​the province – is currently in the peak of its harvest season. Although yields have decreased compared to previous years due to unfavorable weather conditions, the high prices at the beginning of the season have brought joy and profit to pepper growers.

In recent years, pepper cultivation in Dak Lak province in particular and the Central Highlands in general has seen many positive changes. Farmers have begun to apply clean, organic, and sustainable production methods. Furthermore, production linkages along the value chain and investment in deep processing have helped improve product quality, meeting both domestic and export demands.
