Domestic pepper price today

Today's pepper price was updated at 4:30 am on December 18, 2024 as follows, domestic pepper price is stable, maintained at a fairly high level. Currently, the average purchase price in localities is at 146.100 VND/kg.

Specifically, pepper purchase price in the province Gia Lai at 145.500 VND/kg; similarly, pepper price in the province Binh Phuoc purchased at 146.000 VND/kg; Ba Ria - Vung Tau pepper price at 146.000 VND/kg; pepper price Dak Lak is 146.500 VND/kg and pepper price is at Dak Nong purchased at 146.500 VND/kg.

According to experts, pepper prices are still high and there is unlikely to be a sudden change in price due to the lack of new supporting factors. In addition, the price of this commodity is still under pressure as cash flows are pouring into the coffee business. In addition, factors such as the USD increasing by more than 1,5%, weak demand, etc. continue to restrain pepper prices. However, low supply and unfavorable weather in major pepper growing countries are predicted to world will help prices remain high, fluctuating between 145.000 - 147.000 VND/kg, with a slight upward trend this week.

The Import-Export Department (Ministry of Industry and Trade) forecasts that world pepper prices will remain high in the short term due to limited supply. In the long term, pepper export prices will still be supported, as Vietnam's output of this commodity in the 2025 crop is expected to decrease.

Pepper gardens are about to be harvested in Duc Trong district.

According to the assessment, in 2025, the main pepper crop in Vietnam will be harvested in February, in some localities it will last until March and April, and will be 2 to 3 months later than previous years due to the impact of prolonged drought.

Currently, to avoid risks in pepper cultivation, many farmers in Dak Doa district (Gia Lai) instead of choosing to grow pepper in the intensive "pepper" method, people now focus on models of intercropping and polyculture with coffee and fruit trees. Developing pepper in the direction of intercropping and polyculture will be sustainable, thereby reducing investment costs and limiting disease risks, aiming towards a Agriculture safe.

According to the Vietnam Pepper and Spice Association, pepper is almost gone from the population, remaining only in agents and warehouses of enterprises. It is forecasted that in the next 3-5 years, global pepper production will still not be enough to meet consumer demand. Agricultural experts also agree that pepper has entered a new price increase cycle. This cycle will last 10-15 years and prices may reach a historical peak, even over 300.000 VND/kg.

Vietnam's pepper and spice industry is increasingly asserting its position in the international market, becoming one of the leading suppliers of high-quality products such as pepper, cinnamon, star anise and many other spices.

In the world market

According to an update from the International Pepper Association (IPC), at the end of the most recent trading session, the price of Indonesian Lampung black pepper continued to decrease slightly by 0.19% (13 USD/ton) compared to the previous trading session, down to 6,822 USD/ton.

Update pepper information

Figures from the US International Trade Commission (USITC) show that in October, the US imported  7,211   tons of pepper of all kinds from the world, down 26.4% compared to the previous month but up 21% compared to the same period last year.

Accumulated from the beginning of the year to the end of October, pepper imports of the world's leading consumer country reached 80,298 tons, worth 409.16 million USD, up 40.9% in volume and 56.6% in value over the same period last year.

Of which, Vietnam continues to be the largest pepper supplier to this market, accounting for 77.4% of total pepper imports into the US with a volume of 62,158 tons, worth 314.4 million USD, up 40.7% in volume and 62.5% in value over the same period last year.

In addition, the amount of pepper imported by the US from other leading supplying markets also increased in the first 10 months of the year, such as: India reached 6,359 tons, up 25% and accounting for 7.9% of the market share; Indonesia reached 6,046 tons, up 90.3% and accounting for 7.5%; Brazil reached 3,178 tons, up 73.8% and accounting for 4%...

US pepper imports have rebounded sharply after two consecutive years of decline due to cooling  inflation   and loose monetary policy, leading to a recovery in demand.

In addition, importers also increased their stockpiles due to concerns about changes in economic policies after the US presidential election.

US President-elect Donald Trump plans to raise import taxes and cut taxes on individuals and businesses – as he did in his previous term. During his campaign, Trump vowed to impose a 10-20% import tax on all goods entering the US. The figure for China alone is 60-100%.

Currently, US importers are stepping up imports of goods before Mr. Donald Trump returns to the White House.

Pepper Market on December 3, 2024: Shocking price drop in all provinces

Pepper prices today, December 3, are around 142,000 - 143,000 VND/kg, down sharply by 4,000 - 5,000 VND in key pepper growing provinces. IPC adjusted the price of Indonesian pepper in opposite directions while it decreased in Malaysia. It is estimated that pepper exports could reach 1.4 billion USD this year. This is a new record for the industry.

At the end of the most recent trading session, the International Pepper Community (IPC) listed the price of Lampung black pepper (Indonesia) at 6,679 USD/ton, up 0.78%; the price of Brazilian black pepper ASTA 570 at 6,150 USD/ton; the price of Kuching black pepper (Malaysia) ASTA at 8,300 USD/ton, down 1.2%.

Muntok white pepper price is 9,115 USD/ton, down 0.31%; Malaysian ASTA white pepper price is at 10,500 USD/ton.

Vietnam black pepper price is traded at 6,200 USD/ton for 500 g/l; 550 g/l at 6,500 USD/ton; white pepper price is at 9,400 USD/ton. IPC adjusted the price of Indonesian pepper in the opposite direction while it decreased in Malaysia.

Ms. Hoang Thi Lien - President of the Vietnam Pepper and Spice Association (VPSA), estimated that Vietnam's pepper exports could reach 1.4 billion USD this year. This is a new record for the industry. The result is that recently, pepper prices have been in an increasing cycle and are currently maintaining a level nearly double that of previous years.

Currently, the country has more than 115,000 hectares of pepper and spice crops, mostly concentrated in the South Central Coast - Central Highlands region with more than 75,300 hectares. The pepper industry is facing many challenges. Among them are climate change, shrinking area, investment costs in irrigation and disease prevention to maintain productivity... which have a significant impact on competitiveness.

Currently, according to experts, pepper prices have passed the decline cycle and are starting an increase cycle due to a decrease in supply. However, due to the low purchasing pressure at the beginning of the season, farmers should not be too eager to sell pepper early, especially should not borrow capital to store pepper to avoid risks due to market fluctuations.

The International Pepper Community commented that the market last week showed mixed reactions when only domestic black pepper prices in Sri Lanka continued to record increases.

As the Indonesian Rupiah depreciated by 1% against the USD (IDR 15,875/USD), both domestic and export pepper prices recorded a decrease last week.

Both domestic and export pepper prices in Malaysia continued to decline since last week, partly due to the impact of the 2% depreciation of the Malaysian Ringgit against the USD (MYR 4.47/USD).

Prices of Brazilian black pepper as well as Chinese white pepper recorded a decrease last week. Meanwhile, prices of Cambodian black pepper were stable.

Pepper Market November 25, 2024: Prices increased slightly at the beginning of the week

Posted onNovember 25, 2024by VPA

November 25

Pepper prices today (November 25) fluctuated between 140,000 - 141,000 VND/kg, a slight increase on the first day of the new week.

 

Update pepper information

In a recent report, Ptexim said demand remained weak in major markets such as the US, EU, Middle East and China.

 The ongoing coffee  harvest season  attracts investors’ attention and capital, which could cause cash flow to shift away from pepper. This competition for investment could lead to a reduction in focus on pepper production and trading, contributing to the already recorded price decline.

In 2024, Vietnamese coffee prices are also at a good level and this is Vietnam's main harvest season. At the same time, this is also the time when countries around the world focus on buying coffee from Vietnam.

However, pepper inventories have been sharply reduced, with current stocks being held mainly by a small number of dealers and import-export companies  .  Therefore, Ptexim predicts that the upcoming market trend could witness significant volatility, especially as inventories are low and there are signs that the upcoming crop will be reduced.

According to recent surveys, Ba Ria – Vung Tau, one of the main pepper growing areas in Vietnam, has recorded a sharp decline in pepper production of about 50%. This severe decline is attributed to many factors, of which climate change is the most important cause. Unpredictable weather patterns, including irregular rainfall and extreme temperatures, have negatively affected the growth and productivity of pepper plants.

Tariffs proposed by US President-elect Donald Trump could encourage US importers to boost purchases before the tariffs are imposed, which could lead to a sharp increase in container shipping rates.

The urgent and increased demand for imports is likely to cause a sharp increase in ocean freight costs in 2025. However, by 2026, we could see a significant decline in these costs as the US works to reduce its inventories.

Madagascar Local market Clove update: 13th November, 2024

 

Madagascar Local market Clove update: 13th November, 2024:-
Trend continues bullish. Stock availability is limited in the sense, sellers, local traders and farmers are not ready to sell; they hold back stock, asking higher and higher price 
This week from 9th to 12th - price again increased by Ariary 1000 per kg [ = USD 220 per MT]
Local traders who have stock with them demand 32000 to 34000 per KG raw material at their depot [ raw material with moisture 27% to 30% ] ! Market seems crazy !! What is next ?
As usual every year, now in Madagascar Litchi season starting.
Litchi export season is only for one month - only December.
Therefore, many people will turn to Litchi now. Large scale exporters of Clove also will turn to Litchi - as it is a short time crop. This would create reduced activity in Clove. All available money will move into Litchi business. At this time, it is expected, as like every year,
Clove demand in local market would come down [might come down - a possibility based on past years happening] That would probably be the correction time.
Secondly, Xmas and New Year celebration is very important for Malagasy people.
They need huge amount of cash for these celebrations. I
t is the time of family togetherness, and spending. Therefore, in December, ""marginal"" farmers, stockists, and local traders would need liquid cash - for that they would be ready to sell Clove whatever price possible to get from the market. This would increase availabiltiy in the market.
These are the only expectation now for Clove in the local market.
