Assessments and forecasts
Compared to the same period in 2025, domestic pepper prices have decreased the most by 13,000 VND/kg, when domestic pepper prices exceeded the 150,000 VND/kg mark.
Preliminary statistics from the Vietnam Pepper and Spice Association (VPSA) show that Vietnam's pepper exports in May 2026 reached 25,180 tons, worth 166.2 million USD, down 18.9% in volume and 13.9% in value compared to the previous month. The main reason comes from China's sharp decrease in import demand, reaching only 1,512 tons, down 66.8% compared to April 2026, pulling the total export volume down.
Although pepper prices at the current level still ensure stable revenue for farmers, but with the pressure from increasingly expensive farming costs and harvesting labor, gardeners need to carefully consider between selling immediately or continuing to store goods waiting for prices.
