Although pepper cultivation has decreased in the past 10 years due to farmers switching to crops with higher economic value such as coffee and durian, according to data from the General Department of Customs, Vietnam is still the main supplier to the US, accounting for more than 77% of total imports. In the world market, Indonesian pepper prices decreased slightly, while Vietnamese pepper increased by 3.66 - 6.15%.
