Assessments and forecasts
According to a report by the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, pepper export activities were quite favorable in the first 3 months of the year, reaching 65,000 tons, earning 418 million USD, an increase of 37% in volume and 29% in value. However, the average export price of pepper in the first quarter of 2026 decreased slightly by 6% compared to the same period, reaching 6,465 USD/ton.
Demand from some import markets is starting to increase again, contributing to supporting prices and creating positive psychology for businesses as well as households. The increase in export prices also raises expectations for profit margins, thereby promoting more active transactions compared to previous weeks. Vietnam continues to take advantage of reasonable price advantages to maintain its position as a major supplier for key markets such as the US, Europe and China.
