Assessment and forecast
At the international exchange, the price of Vietnamese pepper and other producing countries remains stable at a high level, especially standard black pepper and white pepper. This trend helps maintain domestic prices, although domestic transaction volume is slower due to year-end storage demand.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, in the first 11 months of 2025, Vietnam exported more than 222,000 tons of pepper. Although output decreased by 5.5%, the value reached 1.5 billion USD, up more than 23% over the same period last year.
