Update pepper information
According to preliminary statistics, in just the past 10 months, businesses spent 108 million USD (equivalent to 2,700 billion VND) to import pepper. Compared to the same period last year, imports of this product increased sharply by 38.2%.
In particular, businesses mainly import pepper from Brazil, Indonesia and Cambodia.
Mr. Phan Minh Thong – Chairman of the Board of Directors of Phuc Sinh Joint Stock Company, said that Vietnam’s pepper industry is benefiting from high export prices due to limited supply.
Accordingly, this year pepper farmers benefited from extremely high selling prices. On the contrary, export enterprises cannot buy much domestic pepper. This is also part of the reason Phuc Sinh had to import a lot of pepper from Brazil and Indonesia this year.
The reason is because output decreased, people kept pepper for speculation. Along with that, prolonged drought makes domestic pepper supply increasingly difficult.
In the opposite direction, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development said that in the first 10 months of 2024, Vietnam exported about 220.3 thousand tons of pepper, with an estimated value of 1.12 billion USD. Although the volume of exported pepper decreased by 2.3% over the same period last year, the value increased sharply by 48.2%.
The average export price of pepper in the 10 months of 2024 is estimated to reach 5,084 USD/ton, up 51.7% over the same period in 2023.
Regarding the market, the US, Germany and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are the three largest customers, accounting for 44.2% of our country’s “black gold” export value in the first 9 months of 2024. Of which , exports to the German market increased 2.4 times over the same period last year, according to vietnamnet.
