Assessments and forecasts
According to the latest report from the International Pepper Community (IPC), the world pepper market in the last days of January 2026 is diễn biến quite phức tạp.
This differentiation mainly stems from exchange rate fluctuations and local supply and demand in major manufacturing countries, creating an uneven market picture between regions.
In which, the Vietnamese pepper market is under mixed pressure in the context of slightly increasing Brazilian pepper prices. However, Vietnam still affirms its monopoly position in some markets. With an export volume of 6,104 tons out of a total of more than 7,000 tons of imported Korean pepper, Vietnamese products are completely overwhelming competitors, showing the prestige and quality of Vietnamese pepper in the international arena.
