According to the latest article above Peppertrade, Vietnam’s pepper market opened for the 18th week of 2021 (from May 3) with a sideways price trend in the context of a rather serious evolution of the Covid-19 epidemic in the country and in many countries around the world. gender. Disease is also the cause of anxiety for the whole market.
However, according to the article, in that context, still recorded good demand from markets such as the European Union (EU), Asia, the US and even the Middle East.
China’s demand for pepper in April generally decreased compared to the previous month due to the tightening border to control the spread of Covid-19 disease. The border between Cambodia and Vietnam has not yet been reopened, so it is forecasted that pepper from Cambodia will not be transferred to markets such as Vietnam, Thailand and China as usual.
Currently, the speed of delivering pepper materials from producers and traders is very fast. Domestic agents and exporters, manufacturers and processors continue to face difficulties in capital. This is also identified as the main reason causing Vietnam’s pepper market to slow down in the past 2 weeks.
Besides, the holy month of Ramadan will end in the coming days, so there is a possibility that pepper demand will increase more strongly in the next few weeks.
In addition, freight by sea remains high and the shortage of empty containers (especially the US and Canada) could affect pepper prices in the market.
According to Peppertrade, in the context of continued economic development, the Vietnamese currency is forecasted to be more stable against the USD, at least until the end of the second quarter of 2021.
