Domestic pepper prices have risen sharply due to a significant drop in supply from both harvesting and imports, while export demand from businesses remains very high.
The pepper harvest in key producing regions across the country ended in May. Currently, there is almost no remaining stock at farmers' households, as most have sold their produce early. Only a few households still hold onto their pepper, making domestic supply scarce.
With limited supply, export companies need to stockpile pepper to ensure timely delivery according to international commitments. This pressure to meet deadlines has led to intense competition among businesses in purchasing pepper, causing domestic prices to rise continuously.
Data from VPSA shows significant fluctuations in pepper imports. While at the beginning of the year, Vietnam imported 3,000 to 4,000 tons per month from Brazil, this figure has now dropped to around 1,000 tons. The reason is that the price advantage of Brazilian pepper is no longer as significant, compounded by transportation costs and trade risks.
The US and Europe have a high demand for imported pepper, creating favorable conditions for Vietnamese businesses to sell at higher prices. As a result, domestic pepper sales remain strong despite significant market fluctuations.
Amid declining imports, businesses are turning back to the domestic market, purchasing directly from farmers and distributors. VPSA forecasts that the upward price trend will continue in the short term, until supply and demand reach a more balanced state.
