Assessments and forecasts
The simultaneous increase of 1,000 VND/kg after a week of price slippage reflected the need for raw material replenishment of processing and exporting enterprises in the context that domestic pepper supply continues to shrink, making import activities increasingly important in maintaining production and meeting export orders.
In the first 6 months of 2026, Vietnam exported 145,686 tons of pepper, black pepper reached 125,258 tons, white pepper reached 20,428 tons, total export turnover reached 940.5 million USD, an increase of 17.4% in volume and 10.6% in value compared to the same period in 2025.
Although domestic production continues to decline, export activities still maintain growth thanks to additional raw materials from imports and stable demand in many key markets. However, the export rate tends to slow down in recent months as domestic supply is increasingly limited.
