Prices of pepper and fertilizer have risen sharply.

On April 25th, pepper prices in key producing regions surged after several previous stable and sideways trading sessions, increasing by 1,500-2,000 VND/kg.

Farmers in Chau Duc district are harvesting pepper.

After adjustments, the highest pepper prices were recorded in Dak Nong and Dak Lak at 157,000 VND/kg; followed by Ba Ria-Vung Tau and Binh Phuoc at 156,000 VND/kg; and Gia Lai at 155,000 VND/kg.

According to farmers, pepper production is being heavily impacted by the weather. The prolonged drought in the early months of 2025 has negatively affected major pepper-growing regions in the Central Highlands and Southeast Vietnam. The limited post-harvest supply, coupled with stable and high world prices, continues to fuel a strong rebound in pepper prices.

* According to a survey conducted on April 25th, the prices of some fertilizer products in the Southeast and Central Highlands regions increased by 10-40 thousand VND per bag.

Accordingly, the price of Phu My urea fertilizer after the increase is now at 590-640 thousand VND/bag; Ca Mau urea fertilizer is sold at 600-650 thousand VND/bag.

In this price adjustment, the price of powdered potassium fertilizer increased by up to 40,000 VND/bag. Specifically, Ca Mau powdered potassium fertilizer and Phu My powdered potassium fertilizer are being sold at 540,000-580,000 VND/bag. The prices of other fertilizers such as NPK 16-16-8, NPK 20-20-15 TE, and phosphate fertilizer remain unchanged.
