MARKET & PRICE TRENDS
Price continued to have downward corrections during this week with a corresponding decrease of nearly 2%. Here the reasons why:
1- There is a large domestic company that is trying to drive the market by selling lower prices on the market but immediately buying in larger quantities in the past week for November and December shipment through different dealers/ traders. (sell cheaper prices for small quantities but buy bigger quantities at market price). This has also caused a bearish correction
2- Financial being tight and cash flow when coffee crop is in main season. Dealers' priority is to do the coffee business when the current market is very attractive. Exporting manufacturers also sell inventory to increase the temporary budget when export cash flow is very slow due to congestion and shipping cargo longer than usual
3- In addition, Domestic speculation has taken profits during the past time. This also causes the carry over 2021 to become less, while the export volume in November & December is expected to be around 25 - 30,000 tons
4- The Vietnamese dong is still trending and the appreciation against the USD also makes the converted pepper price more expensive.
SUMMARIZING
Demand for pepper continues to be active in the US and EU markets both prompt and further shipment in Q1 & Q2/2022.
China continues to cover very slowly and it is possible that the import volume of pepper from China will be the lowest in the past 3 years, although the information we have received, the stock in China decreased rapidly in recent times.
End of December some small quantities will be available on the market. However, it will be very limited in December & January 2022. The pepper crop in 2022 continues to be delayed compared to previous years and it is forecasted that the main harvest will only be in March & April 2022
