In which, black pepper reached 9,405 tons, white pepper reached 1,425 tons.
Asia continues to be the largest market with 5,452 tons, accounting for 50.3% market share but down 24.6%. America reached 2,377 tons, down 31.1%; the US alone reached 2,040 tons, down 36.3% but is still the largest export market for Vietnamese pepper.
The driving force for the market to maintain its upward momentum for 2 consecutive days mainly stems from the supply-demand mismatch, as global supply is increasingly tightened in the context of strong recovery in consumption demand in major countries.
