Assessments and forecasts
According to the Vietnam Pepper and Spice Plant Association (VPSA), pepper prices are still maintained at a stable level, but replanting is still limited due to competition from higher-value crops and no new land fund, making it difficult to expand planting areas in 2026.
Global pepper production in 2026 is forecast to be about 530,000 tons, a slight increase compared to 2025 but still lower than the level of 2024, while consumer demand remains high.
