Assessments and forecasts
The domestic pepper market has just closed the trading week with a slight downward adjustment trend in most key growing areas. Contrary to the domestic downward trend, the world market witnessed contrasting colors according to data from the International Pepper Corporation (IPC).
According to analysts, in the coming time, pepper prices may continue to fluctuate in a narrow range. If export demand increases in the first quarter of 2026, the pepper market is likely to maintain a high price level, creating favorable conditions for pepper growers.
