Assessments and forecasts
The fact that the market has maintained a sideways state for many consecutive sessions shows the cautious psychology of both growers and purchasing businesses.
However, the current price list is also the highest price level since the first week of March when the price range exceeded the threshold of 145,000 VND/kg. The increase in domestic pepper prices last week helped narrow the gap between the peak level set from the beginning of January 2026 of 151,500 VND/kg.
In the short term, pepper prices are likely to continue to fluctuate in a narrow range. The price increase momentum will depend on export demand in the coming time, especially from major markets.
