In the first 9 months of 2025, the export value of Vietnam's pepper reached 1.27 billion USD, nearly equal to the whole of 2024. This result is achieved thanks to the sharp increase in export pepper prices. Therefore, although the export volume after 9 months only reached 186,503 tons, down 7.1% in volume, the value increased by nearly 28% over the same period last year.
