Assessments and forecasts
New agreements in the Middle East are expected to create a positive mentality for international trade activities. In Vietnam, the pepper industry is witnessing a strong breakthrough in export scale. In the first 5 months of 2026, Vietnam exported about 126,800 tons, earning 819.7 million USD, an increase of 27% in volume and 18.8% in value compared to the same period in 2025.
Forecast for the second half of 2026, although opportunities from Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) are still wide open, the pepper industry will face stricter standards from the US and EU on traceability, sustainable development and food safety. This requires businesses not only to focus on the number of orders but also to improve trade risk management.
