Vietnam currently has about 730,000 hectares of coffee, of which Robusta accounts for 95% of the area, helping to maintain its position as the world's leading Robusta exporter. Output is stable at 1.8 - 2 million tons, accounting for about 18% of the global market share, equivalent to 1.5 million tons of exports per year.

Nearly 50% of Vietnam's coffee exports are consumed in Europe - the most traditional and stable market. However, more than 91% of exports are still raw, unprocessed coffee beans. In the instant and roasted coffee sector, FDI enterprises currently account for more than 81% of the market share, causing most of the added value to fall into the foreign sector.

Mr. Nguyen Nam Hai - Chairman of VICOFA - said that although Vietnam is holding the second position in the world in terms of output and leading in Robusta, brand recognition in the US and other major markets is still quite modest. He said the main reason is that deep processing, brand promotion and trade promotion have not been properly invested.

Pepper prices remain stable

The domestic pepper market on November 17 remained stable compared to yesterday, with prices ranging from 144,000 - 145,500 VND/kg.

In Gia Lai, pepper is traded at 144,500 VND/kg, unchanged from yesterday. Similarly, pepper price in Ho Chi Minh City is currently at 144,000 VND/kg.

In Dong Nai, the purchase price remained at 144,000 VND/kg. Meanwhile, Dak Lak and Lam Dong continued to be the two localities with the highest purchase price, both reaching 145,500 VND/kg, unchanged from the previous day.

According to the International Pepper Community (IPC), the price of Indonesian Lampung black pepper in the most recent session reached 7,108 USD/ton, while Muntok white pepper reached 9,745 USD/ton.

The price of Brazilian ASTA 570 black pepper is currently at USD 6,175/ton. In Malaysia, ASTA black pepper remains stable at USD 9,200/ton, while ASTA white pepper is at USD 12,300/ton.

Vietnamese black pepper prices today continue to remain high, with 500 g/l traded at 6,400 USD/ton, 550 g/l at 6,600 USD/ton, while white pepper remains at 9,050 USD/ton.

Vietnam's pepper industry is gradually recovering after a period of decline. By the end of 2024, the area will be only about 110,500 hectares but the yield will reach 26 quintals/ha - nearly double the world average, helping to maintain output around 200,000 tons. In Gia Lai, more than 6,100 hectares are being harvested with a yield of about 3.5 tons/ha, along with the expansion of the area meeting VietGAP, Organic and Rainforest standards.

The weather situation at the end of 2025 caused a lot of pressure when storm No. 13 flooded and damaged more than 11,800 hectares of crops in Gia Lai. Pepper, coffee, banana and passion fruit trees alone suffered damage of nearly 49 hectares, with an estimated value of hundreds of billions of VND. A number of other production areas were also affected, causing many experts to worry that output after Tet may decrease.

Despite the impact of natural disasters, Vietnam's pepper exports still achieved positive results. In the first 10 months of 2025, the export volume reached 206,300 tons, earning about 1.4 billion USD; although output decreased, the value increased by nearly 26% thanks to high export prices. The US continued to lead with 45.8 thousand tons, followed by Germany with a significant increase in value, while Thailand, South Korea, the UK and Egypt maintained stable purchasing power.

Some markets such as India decreased by nearly 40%, the US and Germany decreased slightly, but Pakistan increased sharply by nearly 190% in volume, and Türkiye increased by more than 200% in value, helping to offset the decline. Experts predict that in 2026, the world pepper market will maintain a positive trend as demand recovers in many countries, while global output may return to about 533,000 tons if replanting is favorable.
