Today, pepper prices worldwide
remain unchanged. According to the Vietnam Pepper and Spice Association
(VPSA), pepper production in many countries is expected to decline in
2025 due to unfavorable weather conditions, with Indonesia experiencing a
10% decrease, Sri Lanka a 20% decrease, and India a more significant
32% decrease compared to the same period in 2024.
A report from the Import-Export Department ( Ministry of Industry and Trade
) also indicates that global pepper supply is projected to decrease
sharply by 15-20% in 2026, as inventories in most major producing
countries are low.
In Indonesia,
current inventories stand at only around 13,000 tons, the lowest level
in many years. In Vietnam, although production is expected to increase
slightly to around 195,000 tons in 2025, reserves are not substantial.
According to information presented at the VPSA Annual Conference, Mr.
Le Viet Anh, General Secretary of the Association, stated that pepper
stocks from 2022-2023 have been depleted, and the amount carried over to
2026 mainly consists of goods from the past two years, estimated at
around 40,000 tons.
Latest pepper prices today, January 28, 2026, in Vietnam and worldwide.
In this context, to meet orders for 2025, the Vietnamese pepper
industry had to import 42,688 tons, an increase of over 16% in volume
and approximately 51% in value compared to the previous year. In 2026,
businesses may continue to increase imports as global demand is
projected to rise, while domestic production is likely to decrease by
15-20%.
In addition, the situation
where farmers are reluctant to sell their produce is also causing
businesses to face pressure from raw material shortages in the early
months of the year.
Thus, today's pepper price (January 28, 2026) in the world market remains unchanged compared to yesterday.
Today's domestic pepper prices (January 28)

Báo Nghệ An•29/12/2025
At the close of trading on December 29th, the domestic pepper market
recorded positive signals as purchase prices uniformly increased

Trends in pepper prices in key producing regions.

today's pepper prices range from 149,500 to 151,000 VND/kg. This is a
very high price compared to the average price over the past several

Pepper prices today, December 29th: Price levels remain firmly stable on the last day of the year.
According to purchasing agents, the amount of pepper circulating in the
market is currently not abundant. Most farmers sold their produce
during the previous period of low prices, while the remaining stock is
being held back awaiting better prices. Therefore, any slight price
increases are quickly absorbed by the market.

currently trading around US$6,500/ton, while the 550 g/l variety is
priced at US$6,700/ton. The export price of white pepper remains stable
at US$9,250/ton, continuing to support the domestic market anchored in
the highlands.
Supply outlook for the 2025-2026 crop year
Despite the temporary slowdown due to the year-end holidays, the
medium- and long-term outlook for the pepper market still faces the risk
of supply shortages. The Vietnam Pepper and Spice Association forecasts
that many major producing countries such as Brazil, Indonesia, India,
and Vietnam are all at risk of declining production.
In Vietnam,
the world's largest pepper exporter, production is expected to decrease
by approximately 5-7% compared to normal levels. Unfavorable weather
conditions at the end of 2025, along with the reduction in previously
planted area, are directly impacting yields. Analysts predict that
pepper prices are likely to remain high as import demand picks up again
at the beginning of next year.
Pepper
prices today, December 15th: A week of strong increases, reaching the
150,000 VND/kg mark again. Supply concerns due to floods and festival
demand have supported positive pepper price growth.
Báo Đà Nẵng•15/12/2025
Today's pepper prices (December 15, 2025) in major production regions.
Early this morning, December 15th, domestic pepper prices remained
stable compared to the same time yesterday. The purchasing levels in the
Central Highlands and Southern regions are as follows:
Pepper prices in Dak Lak and Dak Nong (Lam Dong) reached a peak of 150,000 VND/kg.
The purchase price in Gia Lai, Dong Nai, and Binh Phuoc provinces is uniformly 148,500 VND/kg.
In summary, domestic pepper prices showed an upward trend of 500 to
1,500 VND/kg during the past trading week. Prices in Ba Ria - Vung Tau
saw the sharpest increase, rising by 1,500 VND/kg. The Central Highlands
region saw an increase of 1,000 VND/kg, while Binh Phuoc only increased
by 500 VND/kg.
With this upward trend, domestic pepper prices have reached the
important mark of 150,000 VND/kg again. The price increase last week
followed a week of declines of 2,000 - 3,000 VND/kg.
Analysts
believe that the positive increase in pepper prices last week stemmed
from several factors. Firstly, the impact of the US tariff decision.
Secondly, concerns about a potential decrease in pepper supply due to
prolonged and complex flooding in key growing regions of the Central
Highlands pushed prices higher. Additionally, the beginning of the month
coincided with preparations for the year-end festive season, boosting
market demand.
Vietnam's pepper exports have already reached $1.5
billion in just 11 months. It is projected that the total export value
for the whole of 2025 could exceed $1.6 billion, breaking the industry
record set 10 years ago.
Vietnam's pepper industry returned to
the billion-dollar mark for the first time in 2024, after many years of
missed opportunities. Exports peaked at $1.42 billion in 2016, but then
continuously declined, hitting a low of $666 million in 2000. Currently,
the US and EU remain the two largest markets, accounting for over half
of export revenue.
Despite achieving impressive export
milestones, Vietnam's pepper industry still faces three core challenges.
These are: strong supply and demand fluctuations, easily leading to
cycles of price surges and subsequent sharp declines; increasingly
stringent quality requirements from major markets such as the US, EU,
and Japan; and growing competition from other major producing countries
like Brazil, Indonesia, and India.
World pepper prices are stable, and international trade is undergoing many shifts.
According to data from the International Pepper Association (IPC), the
prices of black and white pepper in major export markets around the
world remained unchanged in the most recent trading session (December
15).
Vietnamese black pepper export prices remained unchanged at
US$6,500 – US$6,700/ton for 500 g/l and 550 g/l grades. Indonesian black
pepper (Lampung) prices were stable at US$6,996/ton. Brazilian ASTA 570
black pepper reached US$6,075/ton. Malaysian black pepper was priced at
US$9,000/ton.
White pepper prices also remained stable in
various markets: Indonesian Muntok white pepper prices stayed unchanged
at US$9,645/ton. Malaysian white pepper prices reached US$12,000/ton.
Vietnamese white pepper prices reached US$9,250/ton.
According to
the Import-Export Department (Ministry of Industry and Trade), pepper
imports into the Netherlands in August reached 728 tons, a 45% decrease
compared to the previous month. This decline was mainly due to a 38.9%
decrease in imports from Vietnam, the largest supplier.
Overall,
in the first eight months of 2025, the Netherlands imported 8,755 tons
of pepper, a 23% decrease in volume compared to the same period in 2024.
However, the import value increased by 13.4% due to rising pepper
prices.
Vietnam is the largest supplier of pepper in the
Netherlands, accounting for 56.9% of the market share in the first eight
months of 2025.
The average import price of pepper into the
Netherlands market in the first eight months of 2025 reached US$7,751
per ton, an increase of 47.2% compared to the same period in 2024.
Although imports from Vietnam decreased by 30.2% in volume during the
first eight months of the year, the import value increased. The average
export price of Vietnamese pepper to the Netherlands reached US$7,989
per ton, higher than Brazil (US$5,881 per ton) but lower than Indonesia
(US$8,151 per ton).
Brazil's market share also decreased from
15.5% to 11.7%. Other markets such as Indonesia, India, China, and
Germany all saw significant increases in market share.
Globally, the latest pepper prices on December 12th remained mostly unchanged.
Accordingly, the price of Lampung black pepper in Indonesia edged up
slightly by 0.11%, reaching US$6,989 per ton. Meanwhile, the price of

Latest domestic pepper price list as of December 12, 2025. Compiled by: Bang Nghiem
Today's domestic pepper prices remain unchanged. Therefore, the price of this agricultural product is still at around 150,000 VND/kg.
According to Customs data, in the first 11 months of 2025, Vietnam's
pepper industry recorded a record high export value of over 1.5 billion
USD, a 24% increase compared to the same period, despite a production
volume of only 223,242 tons, a slight decrease of 0.5%. The main driving
force behind this growth was a 30% increase in the average export
price, reaching 6,764 USD/ton, the highest level ever.
Ms. Hoang Thi Lien, Chairwoman of VPSA, believes that 2025 is a
"relatively optimistic" period for Vietnamese pepper businesses amidst
unpredictable global trade fluctuations. She stated that total export
revenue for the year could reach $1.6 billion, while emphasizing that
favorable prices are bringing tangible benefits to farmers and creating
momentum for the industry's continued development.
According to VPSA, Vietnam currently has approximately 200 pepper
processing and trading enterprises, of which 15 large enterprises
account for 70% of exports, while 5 FDI enterprises hold nearly 30% of
the market share. The entire industry owns 14 internationally
standardized deep processing plants, supplying a diverse range of
products from whole peppercorns to pepper powder.
Thanks to the advantages from 16 free trade agreements, businesses have
effectively expanded into key markets. Exports to the US reached $373
million, a slight decrease of 1%, while exports to Germany increased by
34%, India by 58%, and the UK by 67%. Notably, from November 2025, US
President Donald Trump's executive order exempting agricultural products
that cannot be produced domestically on a large scale from tariffs will
help Vietnamese pepper continue to benefit from preferential treatment
and strengthen profit margins.
Ms. Lien
stated that the company is boosting orders for the fourth quarter with
positive results, but emphasized that the pepper industry needs to
simultaneously expand markets and develop products to effectively
exploit global market segments.
Therefore, the price of pepper in Vietnam today, December 12, 2025, is trading around 148,000 - 150,000 VND/kg.
