Assessments and forecasts
Increased supply from the new harvest season caused pepper prices to decrease compared to the peak of 150,000 VND/kg, while increased demand is not corresponding. However, in the medium and long term, pepper prices are expected to remain at a high level.
In the international market, pepper prices are forecast to continue to differentiate before forming a clear upward trend. As global supply gradually shrinks and import demand improves, especially in major markets, international pepper prices will have the opportunity to recover strongly in the second and third quarters of 2026.
