Deputy Director of the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Dak Nong province, Mr. Ngo Xuan Dong, said that the locality has issued a document to propagate and recommend people to use standard white canvas bags when preserving pepper. The goal is to prevent the risk of contamination with Sudan Red, an industrial colorant banned from use in food.

According to Mr. Dong, recently some batches of Vietnamese pepper exported have been warned to be contaminated with Sudan Red. After verification, the main reason is that people use colored packaging or tarpaulins that do not meet food standards during the harvesting and storage process. This causes the colorant to contaminate the pepper.

Although it is only a local phenomenon occurring in a few small batches, because Sudan Red is an industrial chemical banned from use in food, early warning is needed to avoid affecting the reputation of the pepper export industry.

In the market, domestic and international pepper prices are showing opposite trends, reflecting the imbalance between supply and demand in the context of climate change and unstable production. In the short term, purchasing prices are forecast to fluctuate within a narrow range, depending on export progress and the stockpiling trend of processing enterprises and international traders.

In Vietnam, pepper export output continues to decline, while Indonesia recorded strong growth in both output and exports. This shows that Indonesia is taking advantage of the opportunity to expand its global market share.

In the domestic market, pepper has entered a period of stagnation. Low prices and high input costs have caused many farmers to reduce investment or switch to higher value crops such as durian or avocado. A cautious mentality is dominating both growers and traders.
