In Brazil, ASTA 570 black pepper was offered at $6,175 per ton. Meanwhile, Malaysian ASTA black pepper remained stable at $9,200 per ton and ASTA white pepper reached $12,300 per ton.

The Vietnamese market recorded that black pepper prices today remained high, with 500 g/l traded at 6,400 USD/ton, 550 g/l at 6,600 USD/ton; white pepper was listed at 9,050 USD/ton.

By the end of October 2025, Vietnam had exported over 206,000 tons of pepper, bringing in a turnover of about 1.39 billion USD. This result has exceeded the 1.31 billion USD of the whole year 2024 and is only a small distance from the record 1.43 billion USD of 2016. The US is currently the largest consumer market, in the context of increasing export prices thanks to the recovery of global spice demand.

On November 14, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order exempting reciprocal tariffs on many agricultural products including coffee, tea, tropical fruits, cocoa and spices, including pepper. This is considered a positive signal to help Vietnamese businesses reduce costs and expand market share in the US market.
