Pepper prices on December 28 globally

On the global market, pepper prices showed mixed adjustments across countries. While prices in Indonesia slightly decreased, prices in Malaysia increased. Pepper prices in Vietnam and Brazil remained stable at high levels.

In Indonesia, the price of black pepper from Lampung decreased by 0.26%, reaching $ 6,817/ton, while the price of white pepper from Muntok fell by 0.27% to $ 8,921/ton. Conversely, in Malaysia, pepper prices rose sharply, with Kuching ASTA black pepper increasing by 1.19% to $ 8,500/ton, and ASTA white pepper rising by 0.94% to $ 10,700/ton. Vietnam’s pepper prices remained stable at $ 6,400 – 6,700/ton for black pepper and $ 9,600/ton for white pepper.

Market assessment

According to the Agency of Foreign Trade (Ministry of Industry and Trade), the pepper market is benefiting from increased demand ahead of the year-end festive season, particularly in China. Meanwhile, Vietnam’s supply has declined due to adverse weather and a reduction in cultivation areas in recent years. These factors have been the main drivers of the recent sharp increase in pepper prices.

The domestic and global pepper markets on December 28, 2024, recorded numerous positive signals. Domestic pepper prices increased sharply, reaching the highest level of VND 147,000/kg in many localities. Internationally, pepper prices showed mixed adjustments but remained at high levels. With rising demand and decreasing supply, pepper prices are expected to continue their upward trend, presenting significant opportunities for Vietnam's pepper industry.
