News, pepper price forecast tomorrow May 17, 2025 fluctuates between 151,000 and 152,000 VND/kg

Pepper prices on May 17, 2025 are forecast to change slightly, ranging from 151,000 to 152,000 VND/kg, depending on the region. Let's find out what this means and why it is important! In Dak Lak and Dak Nong provinces, pepper prices are expected to increase to 152,000 VND/kg, an increase of 1,000 VND/kg compared to today. This could be good news for farmers here. On the contrary, in Binh Phuoc, pepper prices may decrease slightly to 151,000 VND/kg, a loss of 500 VND/kg, while Gia Lai and Ba Ria - Vung Tau also maintain the level of 151,000 VND/kg, but Ba Ria - Vung Tau decreased by 1,000 VND/kg compared to before. These small fluctuations show that domestic pepper prices are adjusting according to local supply and demand.

In the world market, pepper prices on May 17, 2025 are also expected to fluctuate depending on the region. This means that in some places prices may increase, but in others they may decrease, creating a rather complicated picture. All these changes stem from how buyers and sellers around the world react to the current situation.

Based on data from the Import-Export Department (Ministry of Industry and Trade), in the first 4 months of 2025, Vietnam exported 92,000 tons of pepper, earning more than 378 million USD. Compared to the same period last year, the export volume increased by 28%, but the export value increased by only 7%. This shows that although we sell more, the average selling price is lower, putting pressure on the pepper industry. Therefore, instead of focusing on growing a lot, improving the quality of pepper and building a better value chain is the key to sustainable development of the pepper industry.

Recently, domestic pepper prices have fluctuated around 110,000 - 118,000 VND/kg, while in major markets such as China and Europe, export prices have shown signs of slowing down. This makes the situation more unpredictable. For pepper growers, do not rush to expand the planting area immediately, but focus on renovating existing gardens in an organic direction. This method helps reduce the cost of fertilizers and pesticides, while improving the quality of pepper to sell at a better price. In addition, participating in cooperatives or cooperatives will help farmers have collective strength, making it easier to negotiate when prices fluctuate.

For export businesses, this is the time to take advantage of low domestic pepper prices to sign long-term contracts with international partners. At the same time, investing in deep processing - such as making ground pepper and pepper powder - will help increase product value, avoiding dependence on raw material prices. In this way, both farmers and businesses can flexibly adapt to changes in pepper prices on May 17, 2025 and in the future.
