Brazil pink pepper 2023

 

30 March 2023

Brazil has had some extreme weather which will effect the 2023 crop for pink pepper. The off-season was marked by exceptional rainfall as never seen before during October-February. This has caused losses of trees.

The plain areas were inundated, causising serious damage. The outlook is that in the coming season not more than 100 mtons of premium and first grade will become available. Blooming season has just started, first shipments are foreseen by the end of June or in July; depending on the weather conditions.

Pink peppercorns are a type of spice that come from the Brazilian pepper tree, which is also known as the Peruvian pepper tree or the rose pepper tree. Despite their name, they are not actually related to true peppercorns, which come from the Piper nigrum plant. Pink peppercorns have a sweet and slightly fruity flavor, with a mild peppery taste that is less pungent than black pepper. They are often used in spice blends and as a garnish for dishes, especially in French and Mediterranean cuisine. They also pair well with poultry, fish, and vegetables.

Bullish Chinese Garlic

 25 April 2023

In the last two weeks, the market for dehydrated garlic from China has seen a significant increase in demand. This surge in demand is primarily due to a combination of speculation and a new crop outlook, which suggests a 15-20% decrease in yield.

Dehydrated garlic is a popular ingredient in many dishes, including soups, stews, and sauces. It is also a common ingredient in many processed foods, such as snack foods and seasonings. China is the world's largest producer of dehydrated garlic, and as a result, any changes in the country's garlic crop can have a significant impact on the global market.

 

The recent increase in demand for dehydrated garlic from China can be attributed to speculation. Traders and buyers are anticipating that the decrease in yield will lead to a shortage of garlic, which will drive up prices. As a result, many are rushing to purchase dehydrated garlic from China in order to secure their supply and avoid potential price increases.

 

In conclusion, the recent increase in demand for dehydrated garlic from China can be attributed to a combination of speculation and a new crop outlook. While the decrease in yield is concerning, it is important to remember that the market is constantly evolving, and new factors can come into play at any time. Therefore, it is crucial for industry participants to remain vigilant and flexible in order to navigate these changes successfully.

Vietnam Pepper market update April 3rd 2023 – Week 13 - Prices

We would like to send you a quick highlight spices market update 3rd April 2023 – Week 13.

Last week, the pepper market was quite stable and the trading volume on the market was not much. Now that the crop has been harvested, farmers/dealers continue to stock up and do not offer to sell when the pepper price is adjusted down. 

Importers have increased their purchases with faraway orders in the third and fourth quarters of 2023 but manufacturers and exporters are very cautious and offer little to sell long-distance orders as many experts forecast an upward trend in next time. 

According to preliminary statistics, Vietnam's pepper exports in March are forecast to reach over 36,000 tons In which China imported  over 14,000  tons 

This  broughtn Vietnam's total pepper export volume in 3 months to over 76,000 tons, up 40% compared to the first 3 months of 2022 (54,615 tons) and increased 23% compared to the first 3 months of 2021 (61,584 tons)
