Pepper exports in 6 months decreased in volume but increased sharply in price
In the first 6 months of 2025, Vietnam exported 124,900 tons of pepper, earning 859.6 million USD. Although the volume decreased by 12.4% compared to the same period last year, the export value increased by 35.7% thanks to the average price reaching 6,881 USD/ton, a sharp increase of 54.8%.
The US, Germany and India are the three largest markets for Vietnamese pepper, accounting for 26.8%, 9.2% and 7.7% of market share respectively. Notably, export turnover to the UK increased 2.1 times, while that to the Netherlands decreased by 12.5%.
According to the Import-Export Department (Ministry of Industry and Trade), domestic pepper prices are low as people and speculators continue to hold onto their goods, expecting prices to recover better in the third and fourth quarters.
This hoarding mentality has contributed to reducing short-term supply to the market. However, in the world market, pepper prices are still under pressure from the strong USD, increasing armed conflicts and high logistics costs.
Longer term, supply from Brazil and Indonesia will play a key role in price developments. Indonesia is expected to start harvesting in July, while Brazil will enter its next harvest in the states of Espirito Santo and Paraná in the middle of the year. These factors could continue to weigh on the market if supply increases rapidly in the coming period.
