Assessments and forecasts
In the first days of September, world pepper prices adjusted in opposite directions according to each trading session. In which, pepper prices in Indonesia increased, prices in Brazil decreased, export prices of Vietnamese pepper increased slightly with one type, while the Malaysian pepper market continued its stable series of days.
Price fluctuations in September 2026 show that the world pepper market has not formed a clear trend but is in a correction phase and there are differences in each producing country.
For Vietnam, export prices basically remain stable and only increase slightly in some types. This development partly creates favorable conditions for businesses to be more proactive in implementing export contracts, in the context that prices in major producing countries are fluctuating in opposite directions.
