Indian Black Pepper futures likely to crash as farmers decide to Start selling Spot Cargo

OPINION by Sham Nair


Kochi/Mumbai/New Delhi 09 March 2012

Indian Black Pepper futures which increased 40% in less than three weeks with heavy speculative activities by non pepper traders who hand in glove with the exchange and the commodity regulator manipulated the pricing of Black pepper seems to have exit the market transferring the load to retail investors mainly is likely to crash in the coming days .Of course there is a shortage of production of Black pepper in the country but the sharp rise in just 18 days is a case of sheer manipulation according to industry stalwarts. Vietnam the worlds largest producer and exporter is offering Rs 100/- kg below the Indian Pepper prices and still not finding buyers or rather attracting buyers in the European Union and North America who claims to have sufficient stock to cater their needs till June and not in a rush to buy even after seeing the wide difference in pricing . The importers feel that the prices in Vietnam still have to drop another 10% to make it attractive for them and the freak Indian situation is completely discounted by them.Indian futures its matter of time is going to fall like nine pins said a major importer who alone buys 20% of North American requirements .

With multi origin multinationals deciding to deliver the Valid stocks they received in the February deliveries back in March and the validity expired stocks received in February by some of them is reprocessed and deposited in the exchange platform another 3000 mt pepper will be offered for March deliveries this time as most of the traders would like to have a clean book as its the financial year ending for all in the country there are every chances the futures delivery in India nose diving in the coming days and might move back to Rs 360 per kg from the present 439 /kg for April deliveries according to pioneers and veterans in the trade.

With the very wide gap between Indian and Vietnam pepper the value added processors who left the import front a year ago are back with full vigour and before the end of the month about 1000 mt of black pepper is likely to reach in Mumbai/Chennai ports besides Cochin .

In the meanwhile with lack of export orders in hand many Vietnam companies are offering shipments for April and May at a discount is raising the eye brows of many as its heard the flows of new crop is in full swing prices are likely to drop in Vietnam in the coming days by 10,000 VND per kilogram ( usd 500 pmt )
