Exports to India in September tended to decrease slightly in volume (-14.7%) and value (-12.4%) compared to August 2025, possibly due to adjustments from previous months or seasonal/logistical factors. However, compared to the same period in 2024, September still increased sharply in volume (+39.3%) and value (+32.1%), indicating strong growth in the context of higher prices.

Reaching 6,831 USD/ton, up 2.7% compared to August 2025, proving that despite the decrease in volume, prices still maintained their upward momentum. However, this price was 5.1% lower than September 2024, possibly due to local fluctuations or differences in the types of exported goods in that month.

Black pepper continues to account for an overwhelming proportion (84.6%) and tends to increase compared to 2024, showing stable demand and strong growth for Vietnamese black pepper products in India (black pepper volume increased by 12.7% and turnover increased by 71.3%).

Unusually prolonged rains in pepper growing areas in central and southern India have increased the risk of disease outbreaks and could impact the next crop’s output. If Indian production falls, import demand from Vietnam could continue to rise, supporting prices.
