Sanitation prices today, August 6: prices are "dangerous", prices are limited, picture 1

Pepper price today 24/7 is in the range of 147,000 - 148,000 VND/kg, down 1,000-2,000 VND compared to yesterday. Indonesia harvests pepper in July with expected good output. While production estimates are good, they may not have much of an impact on prices as speculators have tried to buy up all available material.

At the end of the most recent trading session, the International Pepper Community (IPC) listed Lampung (Indonesia) black pepper price at 7,191 USD/ton; Brazilian black pepper price ASTA 570 is at 7,125 USD/ton; Kuching (Malaysia) ASTA black pepper price is 7,500 USD/ton.

Muntok white pepper price 9,157 USD/ton; Malaysian ASTA white pepper price is at 8,800 USD/ton.

The price of Vietnamese black pepper is trading at 6,000 USD/ton for 500 g/l type; type 550 g/l at 6,600 USD/ton; White pepper price is at 8,800 USD/ton. IPC continues to maintain pepper prices in other countries.

In the latest weekly report, IPC stated that Chinese white pepper prices recorded an increase. Prices increased sharply in the past month in Hainan, China due to expected low output and domestic speculation.

According to surveys, in recent years, the pepper growing area on Hainan Island - China has been about 330,000 mu (Chinese measurement unit, 1 mu = 666.7 m2), accounting for more than 90% of the total planted area. target of this country.

Although it is China's main pepper production area, Hainan Island is not the main import-export trade area, pepper trading activities are mainly carried out in Yulin - Guangxi and Bozhou - An. Huy.

This year in China's main pepper production area, crop failure is also worrying, and speculation is also hoarding goods. Since the beginning of the year, the amount of pepper exported from Vietnam to this market has decreased sharply. According to data, China still imports about 50,000 thousand tons of pepper from Vietnam every year.

According to experts, perhaps China and European traders are waiting for information and new releases from the harvest in Indonesia. If the crop in this Southeast Asian country is less favorable, low output and prolonged domestic speculation in China will force them to increase imports of Vietnamese pepper again. This will be the year-end growth driver for Vietnamese pepper.

According to the Center for Industry and Trade Information (Ministry of Industry and Trade), Indonesia harvested pepper in July with expected good yields in most key growing areas. Scattered rains during the growing stage are beneficial for pepper fruit formation. While production estimates are good, they may not have much of an impact on prices as speculators have tried to buy up all available material.

Brazil's widespread crop loss: What opportunities are there for the Vietnamese pepper industry?

 





*Vietnamese pepper prices are forecast to have room to increase in the context of widespread Brazilian pepper crop failures for the third consecutive year.

*Pepper price 'evaporated' by nearly 30,000 VND/kg after reaching a record high:
What is the reason?

*Pepper exports in the first 6 months of 2024: Output decreases, turnover increases
There are many new developments, what will be the future price of pepper?


Opens up opportunities for Vietnamese pepper

According to new data announced by the Brazilian Government, the country's pepper exports in June 2024 only reached 5,333 tons, down 9.7% compared to May 2024. In the first 6 months of this year, Brazil exported 37,181 tons of pepper, down 6% compared to the same period in 2023.
The main reason why Brazilian pepper exports decreased was due to a sharp decrease in harvest output due to the effects of drought and disease. Brazil's two largest pepper growing regions, Espirito Santos and Para, are expected to enter new harvests in August and November, respectively. However, experts predict that this year's harvest in these two regions may decrease by 20-30% compared to 2023, down to only about 60,000 tons.

Therefore, NedSpice forecasts that Brazil's total pepper output this year will decrease by 18.2% compared to 2023, to 90,000 tons. Brazil is currently the second largest producer and exporter of black pepper in the world after Vietnam, accounting for 17 - 18% of the total global supply. Therefore, the continuous crop failure in Brazil will cause a global spillover effect, which is expected to push up global pepper prices in the last months of this year when pepper supply from other large producing countries such as Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia... also all declined significantly.
Brazil's crop failure is expected to open up opportunities for the Vietnamese pepper industry to increase market share and further strengthen its position in key markets such as the US, China and Europe. However, Vietnamese businesses may also have difficulty finding alternative sources of supply for Brazilian pepper, especially when freight rates are still high and maritime congestion has not been completely resolved. to.

In addition, Brazil's pepper export price to Vietnam in the first half of this year was also significantly lower than Vietnam's average export price to the international market. Therefore, the shortage of imported pepper supply from Brazil may cause domestic pepper prices to increase in the coming months.

Brazilian pepper exports decreased sharply this year due to the impact of drought and disease. This is expected to push global pepper prices up in the last months of this year, creating opportunities for the Vietnamese pepper industry to increase its market share. However, Vietnamese businesses also need solutions to cope with supply shortages and price fluctuations.

Commenting on the market, Vice Chairman of Chu Se Pepper Association (Gia Lai) Hoang Phuoc Binh said that currently pepper prices are in a state of "shaking", meaning sometimes up, sometimes down, but looking at The general trend will continue to increase. The main reason is that the supply of pepper in Vietnam is currently exhausted because the output of the 2023 - 2024 crop also decreased quite a lot compared to the previous crop.

The whole year's export forecast is more than 1 billion USD

Besides, according to data from the Vietnam Pepper and Spice Association (VPSA), as of July 15, 2024, the total export turnover of pepper reached 690.7 million USD and imports reached 74 million USD. 1 million USD (mainly raw materials). Thereby, the entire industry had a trade surplus of 616.6 million USD.

Regarding exports, in the first 6 months of the year, Vietnam exported 142,586 tons of pepper of all kinds, worth 634.2 million USD, down 6.8% in volume but up 30.5% in turnover. Specifically, the amount of black pepper exported reached 125,959 tons, worth 539.9 million USD; White pepper reached 16,627 tons, worth 94.3 million USD.

The highlight in pepper exports in the first 6 months of the year is the high selling price. The average price of exported black pepper reached 4,365 USD/ton, white pepper reached 5,983 USD/ton, an increase of 922 USD/ton for black pepper and 1,028 USD/ton for white pepper compared to the first 6 months of 2023.

In the domestic market, in recent days, pepper prices have fluctuated around 150,000 VND/kg, twice as high as in 2023.

VPSA stated that the reason why Vietnam's pepper exports increased in the first 6 months of the year was due to the scarcity of pepper supply in the world market. Currently, Vietnam ended its harvest in March, while the harvest of Brazil - the world's second largest pepper exporter - just started in August.


In addition, pepper prices increased because demand on the world market remained high, while supply was limited.

With high growth momentum in the first 6 months of the year, plus export prices continuing to be high, VPSA forecasts that Vietnam pepper exports this year will reach over 1 billion USD, thereby bringing pepper back to normal. billion-dollar industry group for the first time since 2017.

This is a positive signal for Vietnam's pepper industry, affirming Vietnam's position as the world's leading pepper exporter.

Pepper market on July 22, 2024: Increased again to 149,000 VND/kg

14-16-16_gi_tieu_2020

Updated pepper price today July 22, 2024 average at 149,000-150,000 VND/kg.

Currently, pepper prices are in a "shaking" state, sometimes up, sometimes down, but in general the trend will continue to increase. According to Mr. Hoang Phuoc Binh - Vice Chairman of Chu Se Pepper Association (Gia Lai), not only this year, pepper prices will continue to be high for many years to come, because each price increase cycle usually lasts for a long time. about 10 years.

World pepper prices  today

At the end of the most recent trading session, the International Pepper Community (IPC) listed Lampung (Indonesia) black pepper price at 7,191 USD/ton, down 0.25%; Brazilian black pepper price ASTA 570 is at 7,125 USD/ton; Kuching (Malaysia) ASTA black pepper price is 7,500 USD/ton.

Muntok white pepper price was 9,157 USD/ton, down 0.24%; Malaysian ASTA white pepper price is at 8,800 USD/ton.

Vietnam black pepper prices simultaneously kept their prices at a high mark, trading at 6,000 USD/ton for 500 g/l type; type 550 g/l at 6,600 USD/ton; White pepper price is at 8,800 USD/ton. According to the International Pepper Association (IPC), pepper prices in Brazil and Vietnam remain unchanged. Indonesian black pepper price decreased compared to yesterday.

By the end of 2023, the pepper area in Dak Nong province will reach 33,789 hectares, output will reach 70,685 tons, an increase of 28,458 tons compared to 2018. Currently, Dak Nong ranks first in the Central Highlands region and the whole country in terms of pepper planting area. pepper, output ranks second in the country (after Dak Lak province).

Dak Nong will maintain a pepper growing area of ​​about 34 thousand hectares by 2025, with an output of about 52 thousand tons, and by 2030 the area will reach about 33.6 thousand hectares and an output of about 60 thousand tons; Form and develop 4 pepper production areas applying high technology, concentrated production areas with an area of ​​3,049 hectares in key pepper production areas of the province.

Although pepper prices are high, localities and even people are currently very cautious in expanding pepper growing areas. The reason is partly because the value of pepper is no longer as high as other crops. Pepper has long been no longer considered "black gold".

In the Southeast, Dong Nai is one of the largest pepper growing provinces with about 11,000 hectares. In 2018, the pepper area of ​​Dong Nai province reached 19,000 hectares. Many years of low pepper prices caused this province to lose 8,000 hectares of pepper cultivation to switch to higher value crops. This year, although the price doubled, people are still cautious about expanding the area.

The general direction of the industry is to produce clean pepper in a sustainable manner, apply high technology, and improve product quality.

Brazil's pepper exports reached a record high of 92,065 tons in 2021, but then decreased to 86,359 tons in 2022 and 80,725 tons in 2023.

Reduced output from Brazil and Vietnam, the world's two leading pepper producing countries, has pushed world pepper prices to continuously increase in recent times.

Some experts believe that signs of supply shortage compared to demand will continue to be recognized and reflected by the market in the coming time until the end of the season.

Meanwhile, rapidly rising freight costs and port congestion in Asia are also impacting prices in import markets, and can cause shipping delays. This causes prices to increase in the medium and long term.

Pepper market on July 15, 2024: Pepper price stands at 150,000-151,000 VND/kg

Growing clean pepper brings environmental benefits

Pepper price today July 15 is in the range of 150,000 - 151,000 VND/kg. Last week, the rapid increase in domestic coffee has absorbed all the capital from pepper. Currently, goods are coming to the market in small drops. There are no businesses buying thousands of tons of pepper right now, making demand in the market "fragile".

Pepper prices at the beginning of this morning remained stable compared to the same time yesterday. Summary: Last week, pepper prices decreased slightly in Dak Lak, increased in Ba Ria - Vung Tau, while remaining unchanged in the remaining localities.

Last week, the rapid increase in domestic coffee has absorbed all the capital from pepper. Currently, goods are coming to the market "in a trickle". There are no businesses buying thousands of tons of pepper right now, making demand in the market "fragile".

In addition to supply and demand issues, shipping congestion continues to affect exports in general and pepper in particular.

Container ship rates have skyrocketed due to delays and rerouting. According to statistics from the Financial Times, freight rates have increased fivefold in the past year and it is only a matter of time before consumers have to bear some of the increased costs.

Container port congestion in Singapore, one of Asia's largest ports, is spreading to Malaysia. Singapore's container port is currently the world's largest container transshipment hub, connecting more than 600 ports from 123 countries and with an annual capacity of about 50 million TEUs. Analysts expect congestion at shipping terminals could last until August.

Increased freight prices are embedded in the cost of goods, this is also a factor pushing pepper prices to continue to increase in the coming time. However, reporting on industrial and commercial production for the first 6 months of 2024, the Ministry of Industry and Trade stated that, according to the cycle, demand for goods will increase in both the domestic and world markets at the end of the year.

The continuous increase in pepper prices   is the reason why although export value has increased, quantity has decreased.

Specifically Specifically, the price of black pepper reached more than 4,300 USD/ton, white pepper reached nearly 6,000 USD/ton.

The main reason for the sharp increase in pepper prices is that global pepper output has decreased significantly due to the El Nino phenomenon and the decline in planted area, and the amount of inventory from last year transferred to this year in Vietnam (the largest pepper exporting country). world today) is almost negligible while demand in major markets such as Europe, America and China has increased sharply.

“This is pushing pepper into a new price increase cycle. This cycle will last for the next 10 years and the price can reach 350,000 - 400,000 VND/kg," Mr. Hoang Phuoc Binh, Standing Vice Chairman of Chu Se Pepper Association (Gia Lai) shared with  VnEconomy.

According to VPSA's assessment, Vietnam's pepper output in 2024 is estimated to decrease by 10% compared to 2023, to only about 170,000 tons. This is the lowest level in the past 5 years.

Brazil's pepper output is expected to be the lowest in many years, down 20-40% compared to the previous year. If experts' predictions about Brazil are correct, the pepper market can only become vibrant again from September onwards.

Sharing with VTV Online, a representative of the Import-Export Department (Ministry of Industry and Trade) predicted that the increase in domestic pepper prices will push up export pepper prices and the pepper industry can be expected to earn billions of USD in exports this year. now.

Not only that, in the world market it is also forecast that pepper prices will continue to increase but the growth rate will slow down. In the domestic market, black pepper prices have increased sharply due to limited supply, but people should not massively expand planting areas but focus on investing and taking care of intensive farming so that pepper plants can develop sustainably. and stable.

As for domestic businesses, VPSA recommends that export businesses be careful in purchasing and exporting activities to avoid risks similar to the  recent coffee or  rice  prices.
