VPSA has just announced the export and import figures for black pepper in April 2024 and the first 4 months of 2024. Accordingly, the volume of black pepper exports in the first 4 months of 2024 decreased by 19.4%, but the volume of imports increased by 20.5%.

According to the report, exports to China still show no signs of improvement. However, thanks to diversified export markets and the increasing global black pepper prices, the export target of USD billion for this year's black pepper industry seems promising.

The average export price of black pepper in the first 4 months of 2024 reached $ 4,065/ton for black pepper and $ 5,678/ton for white pepper, an increase of 19.4% and 14.5% respectively compared to the same period last year. The total export turnover of black pepper reached $ 352 million in the first 4 months of 2024.

However, challenges for the Vietnamese black pepper industry still lie ahead, as the forecasted supply for export is low, and there is a need to increase imports from other countries. By the end of April 2024, Vietnam had exported 83,067 tons of various types of black pepper. It is forecasted that this year's production will only be around 170 - 180 thousand tons.

Additionally, low inventories and high holding sentiment among the public are also contributing factors. Therefore, experts predict that domestic black pepper prices will continue to rise from now until the end of the year.

Thus, the domestic black pepper prices on 05/11/2024, are trading around the range of VND 101,000 - 102,000/kg.
