Pepper price today May 22 in the world market

In the world market, based on quotes from export enterprises and export prices in countries, the International Pepper Association (IPC) updated the pepper prices of all types traded in the international market on May 21 (local time) as follows:

Indonesia's Lampung black pepper price remained unchanged from yesterday at $7,379 per tonne. Meanwhile, Muntok white pepper price remained unchanged from yesterday at $10,062 per tonne.

Brazilian black pepper ASTA 570 price remained unchanged from yesterday at $6,650/mt.

Malaysia’s ASTA black pepper price remained unchanged from yesterday at $9,200/ton. Meanwhile, the country’s ASTA white pepper price remained stable from yesterday at $11,900/ton.

Prices of all types of pepper in Vietnam remained unchanged compared to yesterday. Of which, the price of 500 gr/l black pepper in Vietnam reached 6,700 USD/ton; 550 gr/l reached 6,800 USD/ton.

Similarly, Vietnam's white pepper price remained unchanged from yesterday at $9,700/ton.

In the first 15 days of May 2025, Vietnam exported more than 10,500 tons of pepper, earning 74.6 million USD. The US and China markets continued to be the two largest destinations, with volumes reaching 2,521 tons and 1,073 tons, respectively. China is showing signs of a recovery in pepper imports, having previously increased purchases to 1,337 tons in April, 161.6% higher than in March.

On the business side, the leading names in exports include Olam Vietnam with 1,277 tons, Phuc Sinh with 1,105 tons and Nedspice Vietnam exporting 927 tons.

In contrast, in the first half of May, Vietnam also imported more than 3,000 tons of pepper, worth about 20.3 million USD. The main importing companies include Olam Vietnam, Nedspice Vietnam and Tran Chau. The main supplies come from Brazil (1,364 tons), Cambodia (1,163 tons) and Indonesia (390 tons).

Although Vietnam still accounts for about 40% of global pepper production and nearly 55% of global pepper exports, imports are now increasing rapidly. The main reason is that the domestic pepper growing area has decreased sharply from 151,900 hectares in 2017 to only about 110,500 hectares by the end of 2024, most of which has been converted to durian cultivation.

The reduction in planting area puts the pepper industry at risk of losing its leading position in the world market, while competitive pressure from countries such as Brazil is increasing.
