Currently, pepper growers nationwide are entering the final stages of care for their crops, preparing for the 2025-2026 harvest season, which begins in late November. When new supplies enter the market, prices may decrease slightly by about 1,000-2,000 VND/kg, but the overall trend remains positive due to stable demand.

The long-term outlook for Vietnamese pepper is considered optimistic as import demand from China, India, and Europe is recovering. Many businesses expect the fourth quarter of 2025 to open up opportunities for expanding orders, creating a foundation for export growth in 2026.

According to statistics from the Vietnam Pepper and Spice Association (VPSA), in the first half of October 2025, pepper exports reached 9,056 tons, worth 59.9 million USD, a slight decrease compared to September. From the beginning of the year to October 15th, total exports reached 197.1 thousand tons, equivalent to 1.33 billion USD.

Although exports remained stable, domestic and international pepper prices in October saw a slight decrease compared to the previous month. This is considered a necessary adjustment period after a prolonged upward trend, helping the market rebalance and laying the groundwork for a new surge at the end of the year.
