Pepper price today August 15, 2025 in the world

According to the International Pepper Community (IPC), the global pepper market is showing complex but promising signs. In the first half of 2025, major import markets such as the US, Europe and China have adjusted their purchasing strategies. Import activities were somewhat sluggish in the early part of the year due to a wait-and-see mentality. However, a clear recovery occurred in May and June when international prices decreased slightly, stimulating purchasing demand and replenishing inventories.

Countries such as India, China and Germany have recorded significant import growth, reflecting strong industrial demand and an accelerated inventory build-up strategy. This is a positive sign that market confidence is improving. However, factors such as geopolitical volatility, logistics costs and changes in consumption patterns will continue to impact prices.

Pepper price today August 15, 2025 in the country

Pepper prices in the domestic market this morning (August 15) showed stability in all regions, maintaining an average of about 140,800 VND/kg and fluctuating between 140,000 and 142,000 VND/kg.

Gia Lai, Ba Ria - Vung Tau and Binh Phuoc provinces all listed at 140,000 VND/kg.

Meanwhile, Dak Lak and Dak Nong maintained higher prices, up to VND 142,000/kg.

Pepper price today August 15, 2025 in the country

For the Vietnamese market, domestic pepper prices have experienced strong fluctuations in 2025, closely following the seasonal supply and demand laws. After a sharp decline at the end of the harvest season (June), prices have recovered strongly since the beginning of July. The main reason is that the supply from the new crop is gradually depleted and farmers are hoarding goods to wait for better prices.

The outlook for pepper prices in the coming time is forecast to continue to depend on the balance between supply and demand. Global supply may remain limited due to the impact of climate change and the reduction of pepper growing areas in some regions. Meanwhile, if demand from major import markets continues to recover, pepper prices are likely to remain high or even continue to increase. However, investors and producers need to closely monitor macroeconomic factors and market developments to make appropriate decisions.

Domestic pepper price

Pepper prices today in key growing areas increased sharply from 1,000 to 2,500 VND/kg compared to last week. Thereby, the domestic pepper price level is from 140,000 VND/kg to 142,000 VND/kg.

In the Central Highlands region, pepper price today in Dak Lak remained unchanged compared to yesterday, currently at 142,000 VND/kg.

Pepper price today in Gia Lai is unchanged compared to yesterday, currently at 140,000 VND/kg.

Pepper price today in Lam Dong (formerly Dak Nong ) is unchanged compared to yesterday, currently at 142,000 VND/kg.

In the Southeast region, pepper price today in Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Ba Ria - Vung Tau) is currently at 140,000 VND/kg, unchanged from yesterday. Dong Nai is unchanged from yesterday at 140,000 VND/kg.

In addition, today's pepper price in Dong Nai (formerly Binh Phuoc) is unchanged compared to yesterday, currently at 140,000 VND/kg.

illustration

Overall, domestic pepper prices increased from 1,000 to 2,500 VND/kg last week compared to the previous week. Specifically, pepper prices in Dak Lak had the strongest increase last week of 2,500 VND/kg. Dak Nong increased by 2,000 VND/kg compared to the previous week. Other localities such as Gia Lai, Ba Ria - Vung Tau, Dong Nai and Binh Phuoc also increased by 1,000 VND/kg.

Domestic pepper prices are at a five-year high, up 15-18% year-on-year. This price level encourages farmers to renovate their gardens and apply sustainable farming techniques, while businesses are encouraged to invest heavily in deep processing and clean processing to meet the standards of the EU, US, and Middle East markets.

According to the International Pepper Community (IPC), the market outlook is positive as global supplies are stable. Vietnam has completed the 2025 crop with favorable weather conditions, laying the foundation for the 2026 crop.

Demand from China and Western markets is currently moderate, but the participation of three major suppliers, Vietnam, Indonesia and Brazil, is expected to make the market more vibrant in the second half of the year. This is especially important as markets prepare for the year-end consumer purchasing period.

The recent price increase is believed to be the result of limited supply as farmers are not selling in large quantities, while demand from processing and exporting enterprises remains high. In this context, pepper prices are likely to remain stable or increase further in the short term, especially when the market enters the large order season.

Pepper price today August 11 in the world market

In the world market, based on quotes from export enterprises and export prices in various countries, the International Pepper Community (IPC) has updated the prices of pepper of all types traded in the international market on August 9 (local time) as follows:

Indonesian Lampung black pepper prices remained unchanged from yesterday at $7,147 per tonne. Meanwhile, Muntok white pepper prices remained unchanged from yesterday at $9,991 per tonne.

Brazilian ASTA black pepper prices remained unchanged from yesterday at $6,000/tonne.

Malaysia's ASTA black pepper price remained unchanged from yesterday at $9,250/ton. Meanwhile, the country's ASTA white pepper price remained unchanged from yesterday at $12,500/ton.

Prices of all types of pepper in Vietnam remained unchanged compared to yesterday. Of which, the price of Vietnamese black pepper 500 gr/l reached 6,240 USD/ton; 550 gr/l reached 6,370 USD/ton.

Similarly, Vietnam's white pepper price remained unchanged from yesterday at $8,950/ton.

Pepper export prices also increased sharply last week. Specifically, the price of Indonesian black pepper increased by 84 USD/ton compared to last week. The export price of Vietnamese black pepper also increased by 100 USD/ton. In Malaysia, the price of ASTA Malaysian black pepper skyrocketed by 350 USD/ton.

At the same time of survey, the price of Indonesian Muntok white pepper increased by 118 USD/ton last week. Malaysian ASTA white pepper increased by 750 USD/ton compared to the previous week. Meanwhile, in Vietnam, the export price of white pepper increased by 100 USD/ton.

According to Harris Spice, the market has been quiet recently as speculators and buyers have largely stayed on the sidelines. Demand from China has not increased as expected, while Western countries have also slowed down due to sufficient supply in the consumer market. Farmers continue to hold on to their goods, not wanting to sell at current prices.

Tariff uncertainties have weighed on demand, especially after the US announced new reciprocal tariffs. Concerns about the price impact have reduced activity among both buyers and speculators, while selling pressure has also eased as supplies in producing regions have dried up. Prices have therefore remained flat.

Harris Spice forecasts pepper prices to remain sideways until there is more clarity on supply and demand. New crop production in Indonesia may provide short-term stability, but the larger impact will come from the Brazilian harvest in the medium term. On the demand side, the US import tariffs imposed on all major pepper producing countries will be a key factor in determining price movements.

Update pepper information

The distinct export patterns from Brazil, Indonesia and Vietnam in the first half of 2025 demonstrate the complementary role of producing countries in shaping global pepper supply, according to a recent IPC report.

While Brazil and Indonesia responded quickly to favorable market signals through timely shipments, Vietnam contributed stability by regulating exports in line with general market demand developments.

IPC believes that Vietnam's decline in net exports in the first half of 2025, despite a favorable crop, may reflect a strategy of holding inventories to cope with market fluctuations.

The carryover of inventories suggests some degree of supply flexibility in the coming months, which could act as a stabiliser for global markets, particularly if market conditions tighten further or price volatility persists.

Meanwhile, Brazil recorded strong export growth in the first half of 2025, mainly due to effective exploitation of price arbitrage opportunities in the international market. This increase in exports does not reflect excess inventories, but rather a flexible trade strategy that responds quickly to rising international prices – especially during times when supplies from Vietnam are limited or delayed.

Notably, in June 2025, while Vietnam's pepper export prices adjusted sharply downward, Brazil's pepper prices remained stable, showing that available inventories in this country were low and specific demand from  import  markets  remained high.

In addition, trade flows between Brazil and Vietnam for re-exports have been virtually non-existent over the past two months, reinforcing the assumption that domestic inventories in Brazil are currently very limited. The next harvest, which will take place mainly in the northern regions of Brazil, is expected to begin in September 2025. Offers for September-December deliveries have already begun to hit the market.

Indonesia also recorded an impressive increase in export volumes, with a 30% year-on-year increase in the first half of 2025. The majority of these exports occurred in the first quarter, with significant shipments recorded to Vietnam and the United States.

Exports are expected to be dominated by Indonesia’s 2024 harvest, where favorable price conditions have spurred strong sales and early contract execution. Similar to Brazil, Indonesia is currently seen as facing export constraints as domestic demand remains strong and domestic consumption continues to grow.

Brazilian Pepper exports in 2025

 

Update pepper information

Pepper Market August 9, 2025: Increase by 1,000 VND

Pepper prices today in the market fluctuated between 141,000 - 142,000 VND/kg, an increase of 1,000 VND. In the world market, pepper prices from Indonesia and Malaysia increased simultaneously. Meanwhile, pepper exports from Brazil increased sharply in 7 months but are showing signs of slowing down.

Vietnam Pepper and Spice Association (VPSA) cited Comexstat statistics saying that in July, Brazilian pepper exports reached 3,473 tons, with a turnover of 23.3 million USD. Compared to June, exports decreased by 28.2% in volume and 0.4% in value, and compared to the same period in July 2024, export volume decreased by 44.7% but turnover increased by 11.6%.

Brazil's main export markets include: India: 498 tons, Germany: 298 tons, Mexico: 291 tons, Senegal: 244 tons and Morocco: 232 tons. Notably, Vietnam's pepper  imports   from Brazil in July decreased by 79.8% compared to the previous month and reached only 163 tons.

In the first 7 months of the year, Brazil exported 53,234 tons of pepper, with a turnover of 332.9 million USD, up 26.7% in volume and 101.7% in turnover over the same period in 2024. The average export price of pepper increased by 59.2%, to 6,254 USD/ton.

Of which, Vietnam is Brazil's largest pepper export market in the first 7 months of the year, accounting for 33.3% of the market share with a volume of 17,726 tons, an increase of 177.7% over the same period in 2024. Next are the markets: India: 5,121 tons, UAE: 4,810 tons, Senegal: 3,940 tons and Morocco: 3,734 tons.

According to a recent IPC report, Brazil’s northern crop is expected to start in September, with many exporters preparing to release their products from then on. Current inventories are reported to be limited, reflecting the steady exports in the period leading up to this. This cycle could see a period of resumption of exports as the harvest begins to ramp up.

In Indonesia, initial observations indicate a decline in crop production, with some trade sources estimating a decline of up to 30%. Harvesting is expected to begin in late July to mid-August. While export flows are likely to continue during this period, strong domestic consumption could reduce inventories destined for the international market, affecting price stability.

Reports from Vietnam indicate that the 2025 crop is generally favorable, with harvest completed in April. Early signs of the ongoing wet season suggest active flowering and preliminary expectations for the 2026 crop look positive, provided favorable weather conditions persist. However, prolonged heat waves could challenge crop vigor and impact yield formation.

Commenting on the market outlook for September to December, IPC said that as Vietnam’s net exports fell significantly in the first part of the year, inventory availability could improve in the coming period. With Indonesia and Brazil approaching their peak harvests, the second half of 2025 could see more active participation from all three major suppliers in the export market.

According to VietnamBiz.vn

 

Pepper price tomorrow, August 7, is expected to hit a new peak due to scarce supply.

Pepper prices on August 7, 2025 are forecast to hit a new peak due to scarce supply, white pepper increased sharply thanks to European demand, while black pepper remained stable.

It is forecasted that domestic pepper prices on August 7, 2025 will continue to remain stable, with few major fluctuations. Domestic supply is well controlled, and market demand remains stable.

Pepper price on August 7, 2025 on the world market

The world pepper market is currently in a state of pause, creating a period of rest before new fluctuations can appear. It is forecasted that the world pepper price on August 7, 2025 will continue to be stable with local fluctuations. In particular, the price of white pepper may maintain a slight increase due to limited supply and high demand.

General future trends

In the context of black pepper prices tending to decrease slightly, the increase of white pepper has attracted the attention of experts and export enterprises. White pepper has a much lower yield than black pepper due to the complicated processing process, requiring pepper to be harvested at the right ripeness, then soaked, peeled, washed and dried.

In July, unfavorable weather in key pepper growing areas such as Dak Lak and Gia Lai affected the quality and yield of ripe pepper, the main raw material for producing white pepper. The shortage of supply pushed up the price of white pepper.

It is forecasted that in August and the remaining months of the year, white pepper prices may remain high if supply does not improve and demand from the European market continues to increase. However, the increase may slow down if favorable weather helps increase production or if businesses simultaneously release their products to the market.

Update pepper price situation yesterday

Pepper price today August 4: Two pepper "capitals" are having the highest price

Pepper prices remain stable nationwide for 2 days

According to records from the main growing areas in the Central Highlands and the Southeast, pepper prices on August 4, 2025 did not have any fluctuations compared to the previous day. This is a rare event, causing many people to worry about the possibility that the market has peaked. Specifically:

Central Highlands: Gia Lai maintains 139,000 VND/kg, Dak Lak maintains 139,500 VND/kg.

Southeast: Ho Chi Minh City and Dong Nai are both stable at 139,000 VND/kg.

It is worth mentioning that in Dak Nong - now merged into Lam Dong, pepper prices reached the highest level nationwide: 140,000 VND/kg. This price is significantly higher than in neighboring regions, creating a big difference.

The world market also has no fluctuations.

The slowdown has not only occurred in Vietnam but also spread to international markets. Pepper prices in major exporting countries have remained stable, signaling a general "resting" period for the market.

Indonesia: Lampung black pepper remained at 7,063 USD/ton, Muntok white pepper at 9,873 USD/ton.

Malaysia: ASTA black pepper maintained at 8,900 USD/ton, ASTA white pepper at 11,750 USD/ton.

Brazil: Black pepper ASTA 570 stable at USD 6,000/ton.

Vietnam's pepper export prices are similar. Black pepper 500g/l and 550g/l remained at $6,140/ton and $6,270/ton, respectively, while white pepper was $8,850/ton.

News, pepper price forecast tomorrow August 5, 2025

Pepper price on August 5, 2025 in the country

According to experts, domestic pepper prices on August 5, 2025 are likely to remain high, and may even increase slightly. Pepper prices are forecast to fluctuate between VND 139,000 - 141,000/kg. In key areas such as Dak Lak and Lam Dong, prices may increase by VND 1,000 - 2,000/kg if exports improve and domestic supply dries up.

The positive forecasts are due to the increasingly limited supply of pepper. Harvesting in many major growing regions has ended early, while new supplies are not sufficient to replenish. In addition, dry weather has affected productivity in some areas of the Central Highlands, adding to concerns about supply.

Pepper price on August 5, 2025 on the world market

In the world market, pepper prices are being greatly affected by the new trade policy of the US. The administration of President Donald Trump may impose a 25% tax on imported spices from India, making products such as pepper, turmeric, and ginger from this country less competitive than those from Vietnam and Indonesia.

This is seen as a golden opportunity for Vietnamese exporters. While Indian products may be subject to a 25% tariff, Vietnamese pepper is only subject to a 20% tariff. This difference could help Vietnam and Indonesia gain more market share in the US market, which is India’s second-largest spice export market. Indian exporters have also expressed concerns about the risk of losing orders and a short-term drop in revenue.

General future trends

Overall, the upward trend in pepper prices remains solid. Limited supply and Vietnam’s position as the world’s largest supplier, accounting for more than 50% of global exports, are key factors that make it difficult for pepper prices to fall sharply.

However, the market still has some potential risks that need to be monitored. Pepper prices in Brazil and Indonesia may recover, creating competitive pressure. In addition, problems in VAT refund policies may affect Vietnam's export activities. These are factors that may cause pepper prices to stagnate or adjust slightly in the short term.

Update pepper information

According to  The Hindu Business Line , Indian exporters say the 25% tariff imposed by the Trump administration will make Indian spices such as pepper, turmeric and ginger less attractive in the US market compared to products originating from Vietnam and Indonesia. They fear losing market share in these product groups to competitors in the ASEAN region.

The US is currently the second largest market for Indian spices exports. According to data from the Spices Board of India, India’s exports of spices and spice products to the US in the financial year 2024–25 were valued at $711 million, up 15% from $619.29 million the previous year. In volume terms, exports increased by 13%, from 111,400 tonnes to 125,600 tonnes.

 The spices industry is now waiting to see what the final tariff will be, as well as the penalty on oil  imports  from Russia, said Emmanuel Nambusseril, president of the All India Spices Exporters Forum.

Currently, India’s main competitors in black/white pepper are Vietnam and Indonesia, with Vietnam’s tariffs at 20% and Indonesia’s at 19%. These countries would have a clear advantage if India were to be imposed with a 25% tariff, not to mention additional penalties, Nambuserril said.

For other spices, US buyers will still have to rely on India – the world’s largest producer (and consumer) of spices – despite the additional tariffs and penalties.  “Exports   may be down in the short term, but we expect them to stabilize in about three to four months,” Nambusseril said.

Currently, Indian spices are subject to a 10% duty, and most exporters have passed the cost on to buyers. “So far, we have not received any negative feedback from US buyers,” Nambusseril added.

Mr Nambusseril also said that as tariffs increase, US importers may slow down their purchases, while Indian exporters cannot absorb the cost of tariffs or additional penalties and are forced to pass these costs on to their product prices.

Mr. Prakash Namboodiri, Director of AB Mauri India (Spices), commented that Indian spices will become more expensive for US importers and retailers, making them less competitive compared to alternative products.

“Countries like Vietnam, Indonesia – where tariffs are lower – can take market share from India, especially in competitive products like pepper, turmeric, ginger…,” he said.

As a result, spice brands in US supermarket chains may be forced to raise prices or cut product lines, affecting consumer demand. This will lead to a decline in consumption and export turnover.

Exporters are likely to face delivery delays, contract renegotiations, increased logistics costs, extended capital turnover times, lost orders and uncertain prospects.

The importance of the US market for Indian spices exports cannot be understated, as the US is the second largest importer and also the largest value-added buyer of processed spices. India’s spice exports in FY2024–25 are expected to grow by nearly 6% to a record $4.7 billion, compared to $4.46 billion the previous year.

In addition, Mr. Namboodiri said that importers are not willing to shoulder the 25% tariff increase and are expecting exporters to share most of the additional costs. Meanwhile, Indian spice exports typically have low profit margins of around 2–5%, making it extremely difficult to maintain orders. Indian suppliers have also pre-purchased raw materials for contracts, so if orders are canceled, they will incur huge losses.
