The province plans to establish and develop four high-tech pepper production zones, with a concentrated production area of 3,049 ha in key pepper production areas.

The general direction of the industry is to produce clean pepper in a sustainable manner, applying high technology to improve product quality.
Thus, domestic pepper prices on 07/21/2024, are trading around VND 145,000 – 146,000/kg.
