Compared to the same period in 2024, this figure decreased by 8.1%, but still increased by 6.1% compared to 2023. This statistic was cited by the Vietnam Pepper and Spice Association (VPSA) based on ITC data, but did not include data from Vietnam.

The US continues to be the largest pepper importer, accounting for 26.8% of the global market share with more than 21,500 tons, up nearly 9% over the same period last year. India follows with an impressive increase of nearly 46%, reaching over 10,600 tons. Several other major markets also recorded significant increases such as Germany, France and especially China - where imports doubled to nearly 2,000 tons.

Although the pepper harvest season has ended in Vietnam, there are still no official statistics on output. Many signs indicate that this year's output is likely to decrease due to prolonged drought, especially in the Central Highlands and the Southeast, two key pepper growing regions.

Pepper prices in the domestic and international markets are currently moving in opposite directions. This clearly reflects the imbalance between supply and demand as climate change affects productivity, while the market has not shown strong signs of recovery in demand.

In the short term, purchasing prices are forecast to fluctuate within a narrow range. This trend depends largely on the export speed and inventory levels of processing enterprises as well as foreign traders.

However, according to the Import-Export Department (Ministry of Industry and Trade), world pepper prices remain high due to limited post-harvest output, while demand in major markets such as Europe, the Middle East and China shows signs of improvement. In this context, Vietnamese businesses are adjusting their strategies, looking for niche and less competitive markets. At the same time, they are also tightening quality control processes to meet increasingly stringent requirements from high-end markets.
