The International Pepper Community (IPC) forecasts that global pepper production in 2025 is likely to decrease by more than 6%, as many major pepper growing regions around the world are affected by prolonged bad weather. India is forecast to suffer the most damage with a decrease of about 25%. In Vietnam, drought has slowed down the harvest and severely reduced output.

In addition, pepper prices in major exporting countries are higher than the same period last year. This benefits farmers but puts great cost pressure on importing countries and processing enterprises.
