Several companies believe that listing pepper on the exchange requires caution due to various risks, particularly speculation, which could negatively impact market stability.
In a discussion with us, Mr. Le Duc Huy, General Director of Dak Lak 2-9 Import-Export Company (Simexco Dak Lak), one of Vietnam's leading pepper exporters, emphasized the need for caution when trading pepper on the exchange because the risk of speculation could increase significantly.
Mr. Huy cited the example of coffee—a commodity currently traded on global exchanges—which is heavily influenced by hedge funds and financial institutions, despite its large production volume. In contrast, pepper has a much smaller production volume, making it even more susceptible to manipulation. If large hedge funds intervene, prices could fluctuate wildly, disconnected from the actual supply-demand dynamics of the physical market.
Sharing this concern, Mr. Ho Tri Nhuan, Director of Gohan Company, noted that given the current pepper market situation, the absence of an exchange might be better than having one.
Without a commodity exchange, farmers, traders, and exporters can set their buying and selling prices independently. However, with an exchange, financial powers could push businesses into extremely difficult positions due to the significant speculative nature of the funds.
Thus, domestic pepper prices on 08/26/2024, are trading around VND 144,000 - 145,000/kg.
