Assessments and forecasts
The supply of pepper from the old crop year has almost run out, while the new harvest in the southern provinces is taking place in the context of harsh hot weather, which has put direct pressure on actual output.
Many gardeners in key areas tend to keep goods to wait for higher price levels, causing export businesses to raise purchase prices to ensure delivery progress for international partners.
It is forecasted that from now until the end of March, pepper prices will still be greatly affected by the weather situation in the Central Highlands and the discharge rate of large warehouses, creating momentum for agricultural export turnover to break through strongly in the following months of 2026.
