Update pepper information

The pepper market increased 8% last week and is up 12.6% since January 2024, according to Peppertrade.

On Saturday, February 24, black pepper prices decreased after peaking at 98,000 VND on February 22, 2024. By the end of the week, the price increased to 94,000 VND. Overall, black pepper prices increased by 8% compared to last week. Since the beginning of 2024, black pepper prices have also increased by 12.6%.

Many farmers and agents believe that coffee prices are unlikely to increase by 400 USD/ton this year.

However, black pepper prices are likely to increase by $1000 - $1500/MT in the near future. Therefore, many farmers and agents continue to prioritize selling coffee and switch to storing black pepper, leading to a lower amount of black pepper traded on the market than in previous years.

On many social networking forums (with more than 200,000 members), many farmers have begun to expect that black pepper prices will continue to increase by at least 20-30% in the near future. This has reinforced the psychology of stockpiling black pepper in the farming community. Farmers increasingly believe in the increasing price cycle of black pepper and almost refuse to sell when the market adjusts downward.
