According to the Agency of Foreign Trade (Ministry of Industry and Trade), in the first quarter, China's pepper imports continued to decline due to the "Zezo Covid" policy, which had a negative impact on the trade of goods in general and pepper products in particular.

However, China sharply increased its pepper import from Vietnam, with an increase of 24.7% over the same period in 2021 and reached $2.73 million.

In 2021, China's pepper import reached $54.3 million, down 16.7% compared to 2020. In which, China's pepper import from Vietnam reached 17.5 million USD, down 0.8%. However, Vietnam's pepper market share accounts for 32.23% of China's total import value in 2021, higher than the 27.06% contribution in 2020.
