Update pepper information
In some key pepper production areas of Vietnam such as Binh Phuoc, Ba Ria – Vung Tau and Dak Lak, output in the upcoming season is at risk of decreasing due to the influence of many factors.
According to the Department of Statistics of Binh Phuoc province, from the beginning of 2024 until now, the province’s pepper growing area has decreased by 709 hectares compared to the same period in 2023. Currently, the whole province has 12,878 hectares, with an estimated output of 22,616 tons (down 874 tons compared to the same period in 2023). same period last year).
The reason is that due to low prices, people invest less in care, leading to poor garden development and disease. Some pepper areas were converted by people to growing fruit trees and crops.
In Ba Ria – Vung Tau, at present, pepper gardens are in the stage of cultivating fruit to prepare for the harvest around mid-January 2025. However, before that, due to the impact of adverse weather, pepper flowers dropped, so the fruit setting rate was low, and the risk of crop failure was high.
According to statistics from the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, the province’s pepper area is currently about 10,500 hectares. Although from the 2023 crop year, pepper prices begin to increase again, farmers have focused on investing and caring for pepper trees, but due to the influence of the weather, it is forecast that this pepper crop output will decrease sharply compared to with last year.
In Dak Lak, according to many farmers, pepper is a sensitive crop that is easily affected by erratic weather. This year, prolonged drought has caused hot, dry weather and low humidity, which is not favorable for pepper flowering and pollination. , fruit set. Therefore, there has been a situation where pepper ears are scratched a lot and the flowers are cut short and sparse.
