Earlier this week, the domestic pepper market experienced its second sharp decline since the beginning of the month. Alongside this, export pepper prices have continuously adjusted downward, impacting the domestic market.

On June 12, domestic pepper prices reached a record high in years at VND 180,000/kg. Immediately after, selling pressure at the peak led to a price drop of up to VND 20,000.

The pepper market fluctuated around VND 160,000/kg for nearly 10 days before experiencing a significant decrease of VND 15,000.

Experts believe that reaching VND 180,000/kg caused buyers to mostly stay out of the market. Therefore, adjusting prices downward is reasonable at this time. However, the floor price for this decline and how many more downward adjustments will occur remain questions of concern.

Currently, most experts, businesses, and the VSPA anticipate an upward trend in the medium and long term.

Thus, domestic pepper prices on 06/6/2024, are trading around VND 144,000 - 146,000/kg.
