Assessments and forecasts
Compared to the same period in August, the average domestic pepper price level is 3,300 VND/kg lower. However, the current price is 500,000 VND/kg higher than the beginning of July.
Thus, the domestic pepper price range continuously fluctuates in a narrow range, not witnessing a clear and breakthrough upward trend.
On the world trading floor, the International Pepper Corporation (IPC) pointed out that pepper prices of major exporting countries also did not record much fluctuation.
According to assessments from the Vietnam Pepper and Spice Plant Association (VPSA), the supply and demand problem in this crop year is facing a major challenge, as global pepper production in 2026 is expected to decrease sharply compared to initial estimates. Unfavorable weather phenomena accompanied by crop yield decline have directly affected the output of three key producing countries: Vietnam, Indonesia and India.
