Conversely, China increased sharply by 66.3% compared to the previous month, reaching 301 tons, and was Indonesia's largest export market in March, while Thailand remained stable compared to February 2026, reaching 160 tons.
In Vietnam, although the harvest season has ended, the selling pressure from the people is not large due to the expectation that prices will continue to conquer new milestones. In the short term, the pepper market is forecast to continue to have slight upward adjustments, closely dependent on the purchasing progress of export enterprises and weather diễn biến in key growing areas.
