Assessments and forecasts
According to analysts, from now until the end of January 2026, domestic pepper prices will not have strong breakthrough increases due to seasonal factors and holiday sentiment. However, the current high price level will be a solid premise for the pepper market to enter the peak harvest season in February.
Global pepper production in 2026 continues to face difficulties due to climate change, especially drought in Brazil. However, this is an advantage for Vietnamese pepper to continue to lead the market in both output and export value.
