Assessments and forecasts
One of the outstanding successes of Vietnamese pepper in this period is the expansion of market share in Germany - an important import market of the EU. In May 2026, Vietnam exported 1,796 tons of pepper to this market, accounting for 60.2% of Germany's total imports.
The shift in supply structure in Germany is taking place in a direction favorable to Vietnam. This not only reflects stable supply capacity but also shows the superior competitiveness of Vietnamese pepper quality in the European market.
According to purchasing businesses, the domestic pepper supply is no longer abundant because most of the output has been consumed from the beginning of the season. However, because purchasing power in the market has not shown signs of a sudden increase, prices mainly fluctuate in a narrow range.
