According to VSPA, in the first six months of 2024, Vietnam imported 18,002 tons of various types of pepper, including 16,357 tons of black pepper and 1,645 tons of white pepper. The total import value reached $ 69.6 million, marking an 18.9% increase compared to the same period last year. The three main countries supplying pepper to Vietnam include Brazil with 7,241 tons (down 22.3%), Cambodia with 6,212 tons (up 34.5%), and Indonesia with 2,991 tons (up 67.3%).
In the context of declining domestic supply, domestic enterprises have had to increase pepper imports from other countries. Previously, Brazilian pepper prices were considered reasonable and were sought after by many countries for import. However, this year, with the overall market trend, Brazilian pepper prices have also increased rapidly. Harvest conditions for pepper in this country are also forecasted to be unfavourable.
Additionally, high transportation costs due to global political instability have posed challenges for importing pepper from Brazil. Given these circumstances, the sharp increase in pepper imports from Southeast Asian countries like Indonesia and Cambodia is understandable.
Experts believe that signs of supply shortages compared to demand will continue to support further increases in pepper prices this week, with expectations of reaching VND 160,000/kg.
Thus, the domestic pepper price on 07/08/2024 is trading around VND 150,000 – 151,000/kg.
