Global pepper supply faces the risk of a sharp decline as many major producing countries experience a drop in output.
The Vietnam Pepper and Spice Association (IPC) assesses that the global pepper market in the last week of 2025 showed a downward trend in most countries, amidst sluggish trading due to the Christmas holiday period, which weakened buying and selling demand.
Despite the less-than-stellar short-term market conditions, global pepper supply is projected to shrink in 2026. The Agricultural, Forestry and Fisheries Market Bulletin of the Import-Export Department, citing data from the Vietnam Customs Department, indicates that many major producing countries such as Brazil, Indonesia, India, and Vietnam are facing the risk of declining production in the 2025-2026 crop year.
In Vietnam, the world's leading pepper exporter, the IPC believes that production is likely to decrease by about 5-7% compared to normal levels, due to unfavorable weather conditions occurring in the last months of 2025, thereby increasing concerns about future supply.
