Assessments and forecasts
Although domestic prices tend to decrease, export market indicators still bring very positive signals, especially Vietnam's overwhelming position in the US. In January 2026, Vietnamese pepper accounted for 78% of the import market share of this country. Despite general fluctuations, the flow of goods from our country to the US still grew steadily with an average price reaching high, about 7,535 USD/ton, affirming the prestige and superior quality of Vietnamese agricultural products.
Long-term vision shows that the development room in the US is still very large when the demand for natural spices is expected to grow steadily by 4% per year. The fact that the US market is heavily dependent on foreign supply and prioritizes partners that meet strict standards is a golden opportunity for domestic businesses.
