The Vietnam Coffee and Cocoa Association believes that the reason for the previous continuous decline in coffee prices stemmed from supply and demand factors and developments in the international market. Vietnam is entering its peak harvest season with abundant production, creating downward pressure on prices.

According to the Association's assessment, coffee prices on the exchange have stopped falling and begun to rise slightly again due to the influence of financial investment capital flows and changes in the supply-demand balance. However, after the recent sharp increase, coffee prices may cool down if there are no unfavorable factors such as weather affecting the supply.

In reality, in coffee-growing regions, even with rising prices, many farmers still choose to sell immediately after harvest to mitigate the risk of prices falling again. The majority of coffee is now consumed fresh rather than being stored as in previous years.

Nevertheless, with current prices remaining high and this season's yield being good, many farmers are still reaping significant profits, enabling them to maintain production and reinvest for the next season.

Pepper prices remain at high levels.

According to the International Pepper Association (IPC), at the close of the most recent trading session, the price of Lampung black pepper (Indonesia) reached US$6,989 per ton, up 0.11%, while the price of Muntok white pepper increased by 0.12%, to US$9,636 per ton.

The price of Brazilian ASTA 570 black pepper is currently at $6,075 per ton. In Malaysia, ASTA black pepper is priced at $9,000 per ton and ASTA white pepper at $12,000 per ton.

Today, Vietnamese black pepper is trading at US$6,500/ton for the 500 g/l grade and US$6,700/ton for the 550 g/l grade; white pepper is priced at US$9,250/ton.

Reduced supply puts upward pressure on pepper prices.

The supply of pepper from farmers has decreased significantly as many growers tend to hold onto their stock, waiting for higher prices. This reduced supply has contributed to a short-term price increase. At the same time, improved export activity has led businesses and dealers to actively purchase pepper to fulfill year-end orders, further driving up prices by approximately 500 VND today.

According to experts, pepper prices may remain stable or continue to rise slightly in the coming days. High export demand and the hoarding mentality of consumers are likely to cause a temporary supply shortage, providing support for prices.

However, prices could still adjust if supply unexpectedly increases again. When farmers ramp up sales to lock in profits, prices may fall slightly depending on actual market developments.

Overall, the trend in pepper prices in the coming period will still largely depend on the farmers' willingness to hold onto their stock and signals regarding export orders at the end of the year.
